《A Man Has Dreams》歌词

[00:00:00] A Man Has Dreams (《欢乐满人间》电影插曲) - David Tomlinson/Dick Van Dyke

[00:00:19] A man has dreams of walking with giants

[00:00:25] To carve his niche in the edifice of time

[00:00:31] Before the mortar of his zeal

[00:00:36] Has a chance to congeal

[00:00:40] The cup is dashed from his lips

[00:00:43] The flame is snuffed aborning

[00:00:45] He's brought to rack and ruin in his prime

[00:01:04] My world was calm well ordered exemplary

[00:01:12] Then came this person with chaos in her wake

[00:01:21] And now my life's ambitions go with one fell blow

[00:01:31] It's quite a bitter pill to take

[00:01:47] A spoonful of sugar that is all it takes

[00:01:54] It changes bread and water into tea and cakes

[00:02:07] A spoonful of sugar goes a long long way

[00:02:13] 'Ave yourself a 'ealthy 'elpin' ev'ry day

[00:02:39] You're a man of 'igh position

[00:02:42] Esteemed by your peers

[00:02:46] And when your little tykes are cryin'

[00:02:49] You 'aven't time to dry their tears

[00:02:53] And see them grateful little faces

[00:02:57] Smilin' up at you

[00:03:00] Because their dad 'e always knows

[00:03:05] Just what to do

[00:03:12] You've got to grind grind grind

[00:03:16] At that grindstone

[00:03:20] Though child'ood slips like sand through a sieve

[00:03:28] And all too soon they've up grown

[00:03:33] And then they've flown

[00:03:38] And it's too late for you to give

[00:03:48] Just that spoonful of sugar

[00:03:53] To 'elp the medicine go down

[00:03:58] The medicine go down the medicine go down
