"Lost In Wonderland" lyrics
"Lost In Wonderland"
I'm all alone in a place I have never been
I see a door to a garden and wander in
And though my journey has barely begun
I am spun like a top to the top of the universe, and
High in a spiral of ice, I gaze upon a scene
That flickers far below me
And what I see is a crinkle of colors and sounds
Colors and sounds
I can hear tinkles of crystal
And I can see sparkles of mist on the spangles
And I can feel tangles of tingles and sprinkling of angles
And inklings of angels around
A rabbit crosses my path unexpectedly
I hear a sigh of despair as he passes me
I have a feeling that rabbit is late
For wherever he's going, whatever he's headed for is my destination
Oh, show me the way to stay here in this world
Because here's where the right things happen
Oh baby, here's where the good things are
Looking at this enormous butterfly
Wondering if he cares to dance with me
Delicate as a flower carved of chrysoprase
Idly, I ponder how far I have yet to find it
I have to find it and act as though I'd lost it
Otherwise, I'm lost in wonderland
I have to find it or else I am bound
To the empty ground, bleak and vast
Where dark spells are cast
Flooring above me and ceiling below me
With chandeliers rising like tremulous towers
And tables, chairs, beds hanging like blossoms
Of turquoise and purple and green
You were asleep, so I guess you were not aware
I took a walk through your mind and I lingered there
But what I found I can never reveal to you
Not with my words, nor the pitch of my flute recall it
You'll simply have to come walking with me
One day into that wonderland shining, behind your eyes
Beyond the gossamer doors of sleep
Lovely, lovely sleep
Thanks to Keith Michaels for correcting these lyrics.

Christopher Cross - "Think Of Laura" Hey Laura, Laura
Hey Laura, Laura
Every once in a while
I'd see her smile
And she'd turn my day around
A girl with those eyes could stare through the lies
And see what your heart was saying
Think...
Gladys Knight & The Pips - "So Sad The Song" I know that we both talked it over
And said it's best to forget
And we'll leave all our memories behind us
It's better ended and yet
So sad the song of
Two empty lives
When that moment of truth...
Randy Crawford - "One Hello" If you're not afraid
Of what love brings
Then endings are beginnings
Of beautiful things
Its a chance you'll take
It's a chance you'll win
If someone's gonna find you
First you gotta let them in...
America - "I Need You" We used to laugh, we used to cry
We used to bow our heads then, wonder why
And now you're gone, I guess I'll carry on
And make the best of what you've left to me
Left to me, left to me
I need you...
Dionne Warwick - "I'll Never Love This Way Again" You looked inside my fantasies
And made each one come true
Something no one else had ever found a way to do
I've kept the memories one by one
Since you took me in
I know I'll never love this way...
