There is a land I know where lovers go
& flowers grow forevermore
Where time is standing still & 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'll 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've waited 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
& I swear that I would die for him, die for him

(repeat chorus)
