[Verse 1]
Wish-ing is good time wast-ed
Still it's a hab-it they say
Wish-ing for sweets I've tast-ed
That's all I do all day

May-be there's noth-ing in wish-ing
But speak-ing of wish-ing I'll say

[Chorus]
Noth-ing could be fin-er than to be in Car-o-lin-a in the morn-ing
No-one could be sweet-er than my sweet-ie when I meet her in the morn-ing
Where the morn-ing glo-ries Twine a-round the door
Whis-per-ing pret-ty sto-ries I long to hear once more

Stroll-ing with my girl-ie where the dew is pearl-y ear-ly in the morn-ing.
But-ter-flies all flut-ter up and kiss each lit-tle but-ter-cup at dawn-ing
If I had A-lad-din's lamp for on-ly a day
I'd make a wish and here's what I'd say
Noth-ing could be fin-er than to be in Car-o-lin-a in the morn-ing.

[Verse 2]
Dream-ing was meant for night-time
I live in dreams all the day
I know it's not the right time
But still I dream a-way

What could be sweet-er than dream-ing
Just dream-ing and drift-ing a-way

[Repeat chorus]
