This song appears on three albums, and was first released on the Spirit album, and has also been released on the Reflections and The Country Roads Collection albums.
A country dance was being held in a garden
I felt a bump and heard an “Oh, beg your pardon”
Suddenly I saw Polka Dots And Moonbeams
All around a pug-nosed dream
The music started and was I the perplexed one
I held my breath and said “May I have the next one”
In my frightrnrd arms, polka dots and moonbeams
Sparkled on a pug-nosed dream
There were questions in the eyes of other dancers
As we floated over the floor
There were questions but my heart knew all the answers
And perhaps a few things more
Now in a cottage made of lilacs and laughter
I know the meaning of the words “ever after”
And I'll always see polka dots and moonbeams
When I kiss my pug-nosed dream
