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 the pug-nosed dream
