You and I can fly away
I would build Time machine
You just say the word
And anywhere we go
You and I can find a place
To seattle down and spend our days
And mmm we′ll fly somewhere
And mmm well I'll take you there
So what a place
That you′d like to be
We'll travel there
In our machine
Anytime
That you'd like to leave
We′ll fly away
To another dream
′Cause you and I
Will always be
So if you have a dream
Tell me where you dream to be
And I would build a time machine
You just say the word
And mmm we'll fly somewhere
And mmm well I′ll take you there
So what a place
That you'd like to be
We′ll travel there
In our machine
And anytime
That you'd like to leave
We′ll fly away
To another dream
'Cause you and I
Will always be
So if you want to fly
You and I can fly away
I would build a time machine
Would you just say the word
And I would build a time machine
You just say the word
