Barbra Streisand
Lost in Wonderland
[Verse 1]
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
[Refrain]
I can hear tinkles of crystal
And I can see sparkles of mist on the spangles
And I can feel tangles of tingles and sprinklings of angles
And inklings of angels around
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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 have I yet to find it
I have to find it and act as though I've 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
[Refrain 2]
Flooring above me and ceiling below me
And chandeliers rising like tremulous towers
And tables and chairs and beds hanging like blossoms
Of turquoise and purple and green
[Outro]
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
