Vaughn Monroe Don't Build Your Dreams Too High Lyrics

VAUGHN MONROE AND HIS ORCHESTRA
VOCAL BY VAUGHN MONROE
DON'T BUILD YOUR DREAMS TOO HIGH.
FOOLS TRY TO REACH THE SKY.
ONCE I WISHED UPON A STAR AND FOUND,
EVEN STARS CAN TUMBLE TO THE GROUND.

DON'T BUILD YOUR DREAMS TOO HIGH.
LATER YOU'LL WONDER WHY.
IF THE ONE YOU LOVE CAN'T BE YOURS OWN,
AND A LOVE THAT'S YOURS ALONE.

AND I'M NOT JUST SAYING THIS,
PRETENDING I'M SMART.
I KNOW WHAT A CARELESS KISS,

CAN DO TO A HEART. DON'T BUILD YOUR DREAMS TOO HIGH.
DON'T DO THE SAME AS I.
TRY TO FIND A DREAM THAT COULD COME TRUE,
AND HAPPINESS WILL COME TO YOU.

ORCHESTRAL REFRAIN FOLLOWS
THEN;
AND I'M NOT JUST SAYING THIS,
PRETENDING I'M SMART.
I KNOW WHAT A CARELESS KISS,
CAN DO TO A HEART.

DON'T BUILD YOUR DREAMS TOO HIGH.
DON'T DO THE SAME AS I.
TRY TO FIND A DREAM THAT COULD COME TRUE,
AND HAPPINESS WILL COME TO YOU.
