Lena Horne — 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, those polka dots and moonbeams Sparkled round a pug-nosed dream There were questions in the eyes of other dancers As we crowded 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 lilac and laughter I know the meaning of the words 'ever after' And I'll always see those polka dots and moonbeams When I kiss my pug-nosed dream There were questions in the eyes of other dancers As we crowded 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 lilac and laughter I know the meaning of the words 'ever after' And I'll always see those polka dots and moonbeams When I kiss my pug-nosed dream When I kiss my pug-nosed dream
