I believe, I believe, I believe
in wishing wells,
But I also believe in a lot of
things, things the daisy tells,
I believe, I believe that a
four-leaf clover brings,
Lots of luck, lots of joy, lots
of happiness, I believe those things.
And when it's Christmas time I
believe in Santa Claus,
Why do I believe, I guess that I
believe because
I believe, I believe, I believe
that dreams come true,
If you wish for a dream by a
wishing well,
Don't tell your wish or you'll
break the spell,
It may sound na‹ve, but that's
what I believe.

And when it's Christmas, I try
to believe in Santa Claus,
Why do I believe, I guess that I
believe because
I believe, I believe, I do
believe that dreams come true,
And if you wish for a dream by
the wishing well,
Don't you tell the wish or
you'll break the spell,
It may sound na‹ve, but that's
what I happen to believe.
