Ariel: Dear friend, I got your note today, asking me what it's like to be a mermaid? Well, I've given it a lot of thought. There are ways we're not the same When it comes to running games and races Nobody calls my name And you don't swim as fast as I can There's really just no use in trying No, you'll only feel slow I hear the music playing That's when I come up to watch you dancing How do you move that way? And I know that your schools aren't like my schools You have recess, we have tide pools Yet, I'm willing to bet That dreaming is something that we both know how to do You wish upon that evening star and hope that it comes true Dreams connect us even when we're far apart 'Cos dreams come from inside your heart I found a golden ring And I don't know what it's purpose is This curious, shining thing And when you wish what do you long for What's right for you might still be wrong for Me, but we might agree That dreaming is something that we both know how to do You wish upon that evening star and hope that it comes true Dreams connect us even when we're far apart 'Cos dreams come from inside your heart I know I'm not really part of your world But deep in my heart I'm like every other girl And dreaming is something that we both know how to do You wish upon that evening star and hope that it comes true Dreams connect us even when we're far apart 'Cos dreams come from inside your heart
