I used to think the song Row Your Boat was either about my mother or written for her. Her name is Merlie and I always thought the chorus was Merlie, Merlie, Merlie, Merlie Life is but a Dream
A childhood belief about misheard lyrics

others believed things like this
- I used to believe that the last line of Row Row Row Your Boat was 'Life is butter dream'.— Mindless Misfit
- I thought that life is a dream and when you die you wake up (maybe it's true who knows?)— Naos
- I used to think that the chorus of "mountain song" by jane's addiction was in a different language— nothing'sshocking
- I used to think life was a dream and I was in heavenAnon
- I used to think that life was all a dream and one day i would wake up like a 75 year old woman.( who knows?)— 8 with wrinkles
- row row row your boat gently down the stream...merrily merrily merrily merrily life's a butter bean.— bleeslady
