Lyrics
Darling it's fine world
So lay your head to sleep
And dream of all the fine things
You'd ever hope to be
Life's always beginning
So sing it from the start
May you find the music
That strums within your heart
Darling it's a fine world
There's no time for tears
So put away your sadness
And put away your fears
Cause every night's a symphony
Whispered on the sea
Find the song that's yours alone
And set it to your dreams
Ahab's dreams were fishy
Gatsby's dreams were false
Find a dream like Whitman's
Where you're singing for yourself
But when you lay your head to sleep
Remember one thing more
That when your dream includes the world
The world will sing along
Darling it's fine world
So lay your head to sleep
And dream of all the fine things
You'd ever hope to be
