One night a star fell from the sky
And we chanced to be passing by
Out of the silver and gilt
There was a dream house built

I thought the age of miracles
Had ended long ago
But no, it can't be so
For here is what I know

This must be the little house that love built
Let us lock the door and hide the key
This must be our own enchanted cottage
Built for two, just for you and for me

Bundled up inside a magic love quilt
We can build a dream that never will die
I know this is the house that love built
For it was never here 'til you came by

(Instrumental Break)

Bundled up inside a magic love quilt
We can build a dream that never will die
Oh, I know this is the house that love built
For it was never here 'til you came by
