Lyrics
The Land of My Dreams
If I’d known you in some other country
At a time when our two hearts were free
Might I been then your one true companion?
For I see how you smile back at me
Oh alas but for now you’re betroth-ed
And another has taken your hand
So I’ll walk with you only in dreamin’
And I’ll pine for that faraway land
Break
And if only I’d met you in passin’
Still a maid with a wanderin air’
I’d have wrap’d you and showered you in kisses
And then asked for a lock of your hair
But we meet here on ground more familiar
With a tide pulling strong in from sea
And there’s many a mile of deep ocean
Between us and the land of my dreams
Break
Now the sun’s sinking low in the valley
And the shadows lay long on the ground
There’s a bird flyin’ over my shoulder
And it’s God only knows where he’s bound
So I’ll greet you and bid you good mornin’
When we meet and we pass on the street
But in my heart I will always be yearnin’
For the girl in the land of my dreams
If I’d known you in some other country
At a time when our two hearts were free
Might I been then your one true companion?
For I see how you smile back at me
Oh alas but for now you’re betroth-ed
And another has taken your hand
So I’ll walk with you only in dreamin’
And I’ll pine for that faraway land
Break
And if only I’d met you in passin’
Still a maid with a wanderin air’
I’d have wrap’d you and showered you in kisses
And then asked for a lock of your hair
But we meet here on ground more familiar
With a tide pulling strong in from sea
And there’s many a mile of deep ocean
Between us and the land of my dreams
Break
Now the sun’s sinking low in the valley
And the shadows lay long on the ground
There’s a bird flyin’ over my shoulder
And it’s God only knows where he’s bound
So I’ll greet you and bid you good mornin’
When we meet and we pass on the street
But in my heart I will always be yearnin’
For the girl in the land of my dreams

Great to see another post, John. And a typical gentle, warm, high-quality effort it is. Love the harmonies and the violin interludes. Your vocal work is some of the best on MJ (IMHO). I might chase down your CD. Take care, Peter.
