Verse:

I'm dream -ing dreams, I'm schem -ing schemes,

I'm build -ing cas -tles high,

They're born a -new, their days are few,

Just like a sweet but -ter fly.

And as the day -light is dawn -ing,

They come a -gain in the morn -ing.

 

Chorus:

I'm For -ev -er Blow -ing Bub -bles,

Pret -ty bub -les in the air,

They fly so high, near -ly reach the sky,

Then like my dreams they fade and die.

For -tune's al -ways hid -ing,

I've looked ev -'ry -where,

I'm For -ev -er Blow -ing Bub -bles,

Pret -ty bub -bles in the air.
