[78-L] Wild Waves

[Malcolm Rockwell]

Here are the lyrics as Eddy Arnold sang them:

LITTLE LADY MAKE-BELIEVE

Dressed up in a gown the trails on the floor,
In a picture hat that your mommy wore,
Living in a world that you never saw,
My little lady make believe.

What a pair of shoes for two tiny feet,
What a pair of gloves the fingers don't need,
Posing in a glass your joy is complete,
My little lady make believe.

In your little arms the doll you unfold
means the world and all to you.
But you could never love the doll that you hold
half as much as I love you, dear.

Dream your little dreams and may they come true,
May the coming years bring happiness too,
All my future dreams are wrapped up in you,
My little lady make believe.

Dream your little dreams...
My little lady make believe.

Malcolm
