Lyrics:[]
Young Scrooge: My darling what does it matter
if life is unkind today
When I think about tomorrow
Today just fades away
[Pre-Chorus]
I think of you and my future gleems
And my mine is fill with Golden Dreams
I think of you and I love you so
All the world takes on a golden glow
So hold me close tonight
And fill me with dreams of delight
[Chorus]
I think of you and your love for me
And I know that life that you'll will be
More beautiful then it seems
In my Golden… Dreams
Belle: [Pre-Chorus and Chorus]
Belle: I want to build a cottage.
Young Scrooge: We can't afford it yet
But when I made my fortune
What a mansion we will get!
Belle: I only want a little cottage,
With children playing on the floor
Young Scrooge: But darling, love flies out the window,
When poverty comes through the door
[Pre-Chorus (backup)]
Young Scrooge: I think of you and my future gleems (Aah Aah)
And my mine is fill with Golden Dreams (Aah with Golden Dreams)
I think of you and I love you so
All the world takes on a golden glow (Aah)
So hold me close tonight (Aah)
And fill me with dreams of delight (Aah)
Both: [Chorus]
