Lyrics in the Lullaby Version[]
Dream by night, Wish by day, Love begins this way, Night's a friend, With love to send, Each new day, Bless your heart, Bless your soul, Let your dreams come true, Future songs, And flying dreams, Wait for you, Love, it seems, Made flying dreams, So hearts could soar, Heaven sent, These wings were meant, To prove, Once more, That love is the key.
As you wish, As you will, Dream of flying starts, Love and care, The power's there, Trust your heart, Trust your heart.
Lyrics in the Pop Version[]
Dream by night,
wish by day
Love begins this way.
Lovin' starts
when open hearts
touch and stay.
Sleep for now,
dreamings how
lovers' lives are planned.
Future songs and flying dreams,
hand in hand.
Love it seems
made flying dreams,
so hearts could soar.
Heaven sent
these dreams were meant
to prove once more,
that love is the key.
Love is the key.
You and I
touch the sky
the eagle and the dove.
Nightingales,
we keep our sails
filled with love.
And love it seems
made flying dreams
to bring you home to me.
Love it seems
made flying dreams,
so hearts could soar.
Heaven sent
these dreams were meant,
to prove once more
That love is the key.
Love is the key.
You and I
touch the sky
the eagle and the dove.
Nightingales
we keep our sails
filled with love
And love it seems
made flying dreams
to bring you home to me.
Ever strong
our future song
to sing it must be free.
And every part
is from the heart
and love is still the key.
And love it seems
made flying dreams
to bring you home to me.
