Dear Jessie

(album: Like A Prayer - 1989)

Baby face, don't grow so fast
Make a special wish that will always last
Rub this magic lantern
He will make your dreams come true for you

Ride the rainbow to the other side
Catch a falling star and then take a ride
To the river that sings
And the clover that brings
Good luck to you
It's all true

Pink elephants and lemonade
Dear Jessie
Hear the laughter running through the love parade
Candy kisses and a sunny day
Dear Jessie
See the roses raining on the love parade

If the land of make believe
Is inside your heart it will never leave
There's a golden gate where the fairies all wait
And dancing moons for you

Close your eyes and you'll be there
Where the mermaids sing as they comb their hair
Like a fountain of gold
You can never grow old
Where dreams are made
Your love parade

Pink elephants and lemonade
Dear Jessie
Hear the laughter running through the love parade
Candy kisses and a sunny day
Dear Jessie
See the roses raining on the love parade

Your dreams are made inside the love parade
It's a holiday inside the love parade

On the merry-go-round
Of lovers and white turtle doves
Leprechauns floating by
This is your lullaby
Sugarplum fingertips
Kissing your honey lips
Close your eyes sleepy head
Is it time for your bed
Never forget what I said
Hang on you're already there

Close your eyes and you'll be there
Where the mermaids sing as they comb their hair
Like a fountain of gold
You can never grow old
Where dreams are made
Your love parade

Pink elephants and lemonade
Dear Jessie
Hear the laughter running through the love parade
Candy kisses and a sunny day
Dear Jessie
See the roses raining on the love parade

Your dreams are made inside the love parade
It's a holiday inside the love parade
