Happy Talk Lyrics

From the Album Nancy Wilson/Cannonball Adderley (1961)

Happy talk, keep talking happy talk
Talk about things you'd like to do
You gotta have a dream, if you don't have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true

Talk about a moon floating in de sky looking like a lily on a lake
Talk about a bird learning how to fly
Making all the music he can make

Happy talk, keep talking' happy talk
Talk about things you'd like to do

You gotta have a dream, if you don't have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true

Talk about a star looking like a toy
Peeking through de branches of a tree
Talk about a girl, talk about a boy
Counting all de ripples on de sea

Happy talk, keep talking happy talk
Talk about things you'd like to do
You gotta have a dream, if you don't have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true
