if i could live just like a child
with innocence and fancy wild
if i could dance upon a prayer
walk the lanes of heather
i’d take you there


if i could dream and make them come true
then grant you wishes out of the blue
if i could play upon the green
with Jorja and Holly and the blue bird queen
if i could write a million rhymes
then send them once upon a time


when kings and queens all rode the land
where roses grow in garland strands
where imps and fairies float away
across the ships moored in the bay
then we would have a holiday


just like a child so pure and new
i’d take your hand and follow you
you’d tell me tales of long ago
i’d put my trust in you
