[Originally written in 1919 by Jaan Kenbrovin (James Kendis, James
Brockman, and Nat Vincent) and John William Kellette]
I`m forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air,
They fly so high, nearly reach the sky,
Then like my dreams they fade and die.
Fortune`s always hiding,
I`ve looked everywhere,
I`m forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air.
I`m dreaming dreams, I`m scheming schemes,
I`m building castles high.
They`re born anew, their days are few,
Just like a sweet butterfly.
And as the daylight is dawning,
They come again in the morning!
[Chorus]
When shadows creep, when I`m asleep,
To lands of hope I stray!
Then at daybreak, when I awake,
My bluebird flutters away.
Happiness, you seem so near me,
Happiness, come forth and cheer me!
[Chorus]
