 A dream is a wish your heart makes

When you're fast asleep
In dreams you will lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep

Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
the dreams that I wish will come true 

Match these words with their synonyms : 

•        heartaches = sadness •        have faith = believe •        grieving = suffering •        keep on = continue •        will come true = will be realized

WILL + BASE VERBALE ( ou BV = verbe non conjugué)

- Nos peines de cœur disparaitront

- Nous serons joyeux.
