When I was a fairy, I painted the flowers And kept them looking their best I danced with the insects and sang with the birds And I lived in an old cuckoo's nest
When I was a unicorn, gallopping proudly Through meadows of silver and gold I knew I was there because someone believed in me When I was a fairy, I painted the flowers
Someone who'd never grow old Dream away, dream away
When I was a dragon, I learned how to fly Over mountains and houses and reeds I saw all my family look up and wonder And none of them knew it was me
When I was a dolphin, I jumped through the waves And I chatted and whistled and smiled All of the people who sailed by and saw me Found joy, full and free for a while
Dream away, dream away
Now I'm awake, I'm so happy to be In this world with my toys and my friends And when I'm asleep, I can be anything When I travel through Dreamland again
