Lyrics

Am I awake
or is this still a dream?
Have I come to the day
I have been waiting to see?

Should I get up now
and try on my gown?
Get fresh fallen raindrops
to polish my crown?

So many moments
I have thought about this day
From morning till dawning
I’m lost in a daze

My dream is a wonder
like roses in summer
a ballroom of dancers
when the band plays a song
I’m twisting and turning
I’m spinning and twirling
My dream is a wonder –
dance a summernight’s dream

All fairies are here
an elegant sight
With colours of flowers
It’s just what I like

A robin is singing
a beautiful song
The glowworms are blinking
in beat one by one

So many moments
i have thought about this day
From morning till dawning
I’m lost in a daze

My dream is a wonder
like roses in summer
a ballroom of dancers
when the band plays a song
I’m twisting and turning
I’m spinning and twirling
I fly in a wonder –
dance a summernight’s dream

I’m dancing in happiness
to sounds that I won’t forget
Look at fairies flying everywhere
Watch Lillifee dancing without a care –
this dream is a wonder

My dream is a wonder
Sweet rhythms like water
flow over and over
around and around
I’m twisting and turning
I’m spinning and twirling
So sweet is the wonder –
dance a summernight’s dream

Dance a summernight’s dream
Dance a summernight’s dream
Dance a summernight’s dream
(around and around, we move to the sound, around and around)

Am I awake or is this still a dream?

Lyrics

Wake up everybody now
Let’s kiss the morning sun
It’s time to colour all the rainbows,
paint them one by one
Now the stars have gone to sleep,
the skies so bright and blue
I will try to be a fairy good and true

I open my arms, embrace the world
flying with the birds in every season
I hear the wind blow little words
whispering its secrets
I’ve got to catch snowflakes when they fall
’cause that’s what friends are for
And if she cries I’ll hush the rain –
I’m Princess Lillifee

Sometimes I’m a chatterbox
but a secret I can keep
What a friend tells me today
I never could reveal
If you need a helping hand
then I’ve got work to do
I will try to be a fairy good and true

I open my arms, embrace the world
flying with the birds in every season
I hear the wind blow little words
whispering its secrets
I’ve got to catch snowflakes when they fall
’cause that’s what friends are for
And if she cries I’ll hush the rain –
I’m Princess Lillifee

I’m flying through the world
riding on the clouds of every season
I hear the wind blow little words
whispering its secrets
I’ve got to catch snowflakes when they fall
’cause that’s what friends are for
and if she cries I’ll hush the rain –
I’m Princess Lillifee

So I welcome one and all –
come and slumber in my garden
Just a smile is all I need
and a thank you in your laughter
I will try to help you
and do all the things I can
but sometimes friends must give a helping hand

I open my arms, embrace the world
flying with the birds in every season
I hear the wind blow little words
whispering its secrets
I’ve got to catch snowflakes when they fall
’cause that’s what friends are for
And if she cries I’ll hush the rain –
I’m Princess Lillifee

Lyrics

The stars have come out and I’m ready to go
Pretty fairies wave a kiss and tell me hello
They look so nice, this is so much fun
’cause it’s a hot summer night
and the feeling’s right

Just move your body, skip on the floor
you feel the music like never before!
Jump all around from your head to your feet
and wiggle your toes
move to the Lillifee beat!

Dance, dance the Lillifee dance
Dance, dance the Lillifee dance
Dance, dance, dance and shake it –
let’s celebrate fairy summer tonight!

Lift up your hands, wave them in the air
fly to the rhythm and shake your hair
up to the ceiling and head over heels
we’re spinning around
Spin to the Lillifee beat!

Dance, dance the Lillifee dance
Dance, dance the Lillifee dance
Dance, dance, dance and shake it –
and celebrate fairy summer with me

The party’s swinging to all of the songs
Clap your hands and sing along
shana nanana and ohooho
Bounce up and down on your toes
Get set, here we go!

shana nanana ohooho
shana nanana ohooho
shana nanana ohooho

Dance, dance the Lillifee dance
Dance, dance the Lillifee dance
Dance, dance, dance and shake it –
let’s celebrate fairy summer tonight!

Dance, dance, dance and shake it –
let’s celebrate fairy summer tonight

Dance, dance the Lillifee dance
Dance, dance the Lillifee dance
Dance, dance, dance and shake it –
and celebrate fairy summer with me

Lyrics

Pink dress, baggy pants
Get those t-shirts from my closet
Take this off and put that on
What’s that necklace doing in my pocket?
I’m taking my time
to look refined
My rosey dress could be a party winner
Should I try the yellow skirt?
That fits to my golden slippers

I’m all dressed up
I’m all dressed up
for the time of my life tonight –
but I’ve got so many clothes that I want to try
Well, do I look too flash?
Do the colours clash?
Mirror tell me I’m on top – when I’m dressed up
I’m all dressed up
I’m all dressed up
I’m all dressed up

Summer socks in coloured boxes
One left glove and now the right one’s missing
There’s my crown to show my flowered locks
I’ll tie them up into a nice blue ribbon
So much style, what a pile!
There must be something in my old foot-locker
Long green boots or purple shoes
lilac blouse and my knickerbockers
I’m all dressed up

I’m all dressed up
I’m all dressed up
for the time of my life tonight –
but I’ve got so many clothes that I want to try
Well, do I look too flash?
Do the colours clash?
Mirror tell me I’m on top – when I’m dressed up
I’m all dressed up
I’m all dressed up
I’m all dressed up
