Once Upon A Dream

Not a care in the world,
Sand in my curls, This is my dream. With the bay and the waves,
Right beside me, This is my dream. My friends and family are playing cricket, Uncle Pauly just got a wicket,
This is my dream. Footprints in the sand, My family all hand in hand,
This is my dream. Collecting shells up the beach, Racing each other until we fall down, This is my dream. The taste of fish and chips lingers in my mouth, Until the sun sets and we’re lying on the ground, This is my dream. As the day ends as quick as the wind, My dream is over for now. As smiley faces turn to heavy heads, This is my beautiful dream.
