Bubbling Over 1919

In the human heart
there's a hope that glows,
like the budding rose,
full of promise grows,
and the dawning light
finds that hope so bright
but hopes bubble over
then fade from sight.

Bubbling over, bubbling over,
hope with me
is bubbling over all the time.
Just as a rosebud blooms,
its petals fall,
like all my dreams,
they die, then all
goes tumbling over, crumbling over,
like my castles high in the air.
I search for sunshine
and the raindrops fall,
then as I hunt for fortune,
it just hides, that's all,
dreams are over,
hopes are over,
life is bubbling over
all the time.

Bubbling over, bubbling over,
hope with me
is bubbling over all the time.
Just as a rosebud blooms,
its petals fall,
like all my dreams,
they die, then all
goes tumbling over, crumbling over,
like my castles high in the air.
I search for sunshine
and the raindrops fall,
then as I hunt for fortune,
it just hides, that's all,
dreams are over,
hopes are over,
life is bubbling over
all the time.

Through our dearest dreams
as we scheme our schemes,
hope is ever new,
and each golden hue,
keeps them soaring high,
till they fade and die,
or those that we cherish
take wings and fly.

Bubbling over, bubbling over,
hope with me
is bubbling over all the time.
Just as a rosebud blooms,
its petals fall,
like all my dreams,
they die, then all
goes tumbling over, crumbling over,
like my castles high in the air.
I search for sunshine
and the raindrops fall,
then as I hunt for fortune,
it just hides, that's all,
dreams are over,
hopes are over,
life is bubbling over
all the time.

Bubbling over, bubbling over,
hope with me
is bubbling over all the time.
Just as a rosebud blooms,
its petals fall,
like all my dreams,
they die, then all
goes tumbling over, crumbling over,
like my castles high in the air.
I search for sunshine
and the raindrops fall,
then as I hunt for fortune,
it just hides, that's all,
dreams are over,
hopes are over,
life is bubbling over
all the time.
