Lyrics
I believe, I believe, I believe in wishing wells, But I also believe in a lot of things, things the daisy tells, I believe, I believe that a four-leaf clover brings, Lots of luck, lots of joy, lots of happiness, I believe those things.

And when it's Christmas time I believe in Santa Claus, Why do I believe, I guess that I believe because I believe, I believe, I believe that dreams come true, If you wish for a dream by a wishing well, Don't tell your wish or you'll break the spell, It may sound naive, but that's what I believe.

And when it's Christmas, I try to believe in Santa Claus, Why do I believe, I guess that I believe because I believe, I believe, I do believe that dreams come true, And if you wish for a dream by the wishing well, Don't you tell the wish or you'll break the spell, It may sound naive, but that's what I happen to believe.
