Paradise
There is a land i know where lovers go and flowers grow forevermore
Where time is standing still and lovers fill the quiet places by the shore
We will cross the rainbow to a place where we'll be free
Where he'll give his love to me
So i wait for the day when he takes me away to...
Chorus:
(paradise)
He'll take me by the hand to
(paradise)
We'll walk along the sand in
(paradise)
A never never land
(paradise)
Wo wo wo
We'll build a castle there so we can share the happiness we've waited for
While white flamingos fly way up high,way above the ocean's roar
We will climb a mountain to see our wonderland
Maybe now you'll understand
Why i wait for the day when he takes me away to...
(chorus)
(stand by him)
I'll stand by him
(do right by him)
Do right by him
And i swear that i would die for him,
Die for him
(repeat chorus except "never never land" and on. "ooh ooh" some there.)
