ALICE (HERE'S YOUR WONDERLAND)
(Words & music; Colin Reece)

From the Albums 'Well Kept Secrets' by Colin Reece,
'1748' by The Dee Bees & 'No Choice For A Beggar' by Colin Reece

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
