Polka Dots and Moonbeams

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
