On an ocean of dreams I have wandered,
it seems, wandering, wandering on
Since I found the most sweet heart that you wrote,
just saying that you had really gone
Will the pretty birds sing?
Will the roses in the spring still blossom
when they find you have gone?
Will the old pals be true, or will they all leave me too,
just wandering, wandering on?
Oddly, o, dee -oddly, ee -e,
Oldly, ee -ddly -o, dee -o -oddly ee -e.
Oddly, ee -o, dee -oddly, ee -o,
Oddly, ee, oddly, ee -e, lonely.
Will the little brook still play as
it winds along its way?
Will the stars keep on shinin'
though you're gone?
Will they find their way to you?
Will they tell you that I'm blue?
Or will they too leave me wonderin' on?
Will our pretty birds sing?
Will the roses in the spring
Still blossom when they find
you have gone?
Will the old pals be true?
Or will they all leave me too
Just wonderin', wonderin' on?
Oh -dee -lee, oh -dee -oh -dee
Oh -dee -lee, oh -dee -oh -dee
Oh -dee -lee, oh -dee -oh -dee
Oh -dee -lee, oh -dee -oh -dee
Though you've left me and gone
I'll keep wandering on
Wandering down life's way
And beneath the lovely blue I
may wander back to you
And my dreams will
all come true someday
Then the pretty birds will sing of the
happiness you'll bring
And the roses to bloom sweet and fair
And the little stars on high
will just shine for you and I
If you promise them, darling,
you'll be there
Oh -de -lee -de -lee -oh -dee -oh -dee
Oh -de -lee -de -oh -dee -lee
Oh, dilly, dilly, oh, dilly, oh
Dilly, oh, dilly, oh, dilly
