A song for a lovely young lady who
couldn't make up her mind.
Her name wasn't Alice but she knows who she is and like the last
line says,
I wonder if she ever thinks of me at all.
Magical and melancholy music soft
and sad
Stirring distant memories that you
know you've never had
You'll find it hard to catch your
breath
When you realize you're painfully
aware
Oh Alice that your time's gone
Then will you care to think the past
so fair?
Chorus:
Alice is your wonderland just like
the story said
See the Cheshire cat's still smiling
but his eyes are cold and dead
You've had your cake and eaten it
And your world has grown too small
Oh Alice is your wonderland a land
so full of wonders after all
A rags to ready riches tale so often
heard before
You never seemed to ask so much yet
you always sought for more
Was it fame or fortune
Or love you sought from all the men
you knew
Oh Alice when your time's gone
You'll find the one you never knew
was you.
Chorus
Sleepy days and dreamy days you
never saw go by
Being sure to hide yourself from the
world's cold prying eyes
I was there beside you then
But just like the days you never saw
me go
Oh Alice where's the time gone
And do you ever think of me at all
Chorus
