My Dream Vacation

Ooh, to take a magic carpet ride Just disappear from here To sneak away and explore the world Just travel around its sphere. Perhaps sneak away to Instanbul Catch a whirling dervish show Maybe flutter off to India Watch spices as they grow. Head towards the Netherlands See flowering tulips in their fields Steer the carpet to the Kenyan plains As Maasai show their shields. Coax the ride toward the British Isles Perchance get to see the Queen Flit on past the Amazon See Brazilian emeralds and their green. Soar over top of Everest Chase the tahr down from its slopes Swiftly skim across the deepest sea Then gaze through Hubbles telescope. Or should I closely hold your hand Then float towards the moon Lounge in the sun on golden sand Then serenade you with a tune. The word is full of lovely things But I’d rather share the view Because while these are dream vacations dear They’d all be empty without you.
