Lyrics
Bumble Bee
His face was always full of crinkly smiles
More than just a little twinkle in his eye
He said, Honey, you are my Bumble Bee...
Dream your fairytale and you will see...
He said:
Build your castles high into the sky
I will paint them all for you and that's no lie
I bought a boat, painted all in cream
Princess, make your wish, I`ll catch your dream...
My Princess, make your wish, I`ll catch your dream
Guess his fishing ground was far across the sea
Cos the only thing I have left- is a picture of dad and me
Smilin` down there at me, my little hand in his
Now Bumble prays, with his photo, on her knees
CHORUS
Daddy will you come for me
One day for your Bumble Bee
I built the castles in the sky
Now come and please don't lie.
SOLO
Sometimes I wonder if he still remembers us
Momma Jo and me, waving from the bus
On a shopping trip or a visit to a friend
He left us behind, and his boat sailed into the wind...
CHORUS
My Princess make your wish I'll catch your dream.
