Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So far across the sea,
There's a land that I have heard about
So far across the sea.
To have you on my dreamland
Would be like heaven to me,
To have you on my dreamland
We'll live together on that dreamland
And we'll have so much fun,
We'll live together on that dreamland
And we'll have so much fun.
We'll get our breakfast from the trees,
We'll get our honey from the bees,
We'll take a ride on the waterfall,
We'll count the stars in the skies.
And surely we"ll never die,
And surely we"ll never die,
And surely we"ll never die.
Oh, what a time that will be'
Oh just youl wait, wait, wait and see
And surely we'll never die,
And surely we"ll never die,
And surely we"ll never die,
And surely we'll never die...
