Lyrics to Be Careful How You Wish?

Great movie, and it came to mind immediately with Don Knott's passing... but I've had ZERO luck googling the words to the theme, "Be Careful How You Wish".

Any of you who have it on DVD, if you could type them out here, I think this would prove to be the actual internet debut :) of the lyrics.

It had such a pretty, classic singsong-type vocal to it. For some reason, it reminds me of the theme in "Joe vs. The Volcano", called "Marooned Without You"... same singsong style.

All I remember is the beginning:

Be careful how you wish
for wishes can come true
Be sure that every wish you wish
is one that's right for you...

This is from memory--I haven't seen the movie in years:

Be careful how you wish,
For wishes can come true.
Be sure that every wish you make
Is one that's right for you.

So many people find their happiness in dreaming;
But dreams can fool you, and they very often do.

Be careful how you wish,
Remember when you start,
To only wish for things
You really want with all your heart.
And don't go chasing every rainbow in the blue;
What more is there to wish
Than to know that the one that you love loves you?

Very good song, very good song score.

Wow - very good lyrics. I also couldn't find them on the web. Really hope someone can....probably be easier to just buy the dvd. ;)

I believe my post is accurate.
