Polka Dots and Moonbeams

A country dance was being held in a garden

I felt a bump and heard an "oh, beg your pardon,"

Suddenly I saw polka dots and moonbeams

All around a pug-nosed dream

the music started and was I the perplexed one

I held my breath and said "may I have the next one?"

In my frightened arms, polka dots and moonbeams

Sparkled on a pug-nosed dream

there were questions in the eyes of other dancers

As we floated over the floor

There were questions, but my heart knew all the answers

And perhaps a few things more

now in a cottage built of lilacs and laughter

I know the meaning of the words "ever after"

And I'll always see polka dots and moonbeams

When I kiss that pug-nosed dream
