C              Dm7                C           Dm7            F  C

Take me to the night; I'm tipping topsy-turvy turning upside down.

C       Dm7            C           Dm7                            F  C

Hold me tight and whisper what you wish for there is no one here around.

   Dm7               C                                  Dm7             G

O, you can sing-song me sweet smiles, regardless of the city's careless frown.

               C              Dm7          C               Dm7        F  C

Come watch the no colors fade blazing into petal sprays of violets of dawn.

 

In blindful wonderment's enchantments you can lift my wings softly to flight.

Your eyes are like swift fingers reaching out into the pockets of my night.

O, whirling twirling puppy warm before the flashing cloaks of darkness gone

Come see the no colors fade blazing into petal sprays of violets of dawn.

 

Some Prince Charming I'll be on two white steeds to bring you dapple diamond crowns.

And climb your towers Sleeping Beauty 'fore you ever know I've left the ground.

O, you can wear a Cinderella Snow White Alice Wonderlanded gown.

Come watch the no colors fade blazing into petal sprays of violets of dawn.

 

But if I seem to wander off in dreamlike looks please let me settle slowly.

It's only me just staring out at you a seeming stranger speaking holy.

No I don't mean to wake you up it's only loneliness just coming on.

So let the no colors fade blazing into petal sprays of violets of dawn.

 

Like shadows bursting into mist behind the echoes of this nonsense song.

It's just the chasing whispering trails of secret steps o see them laughing on.

There's magic in the sleepiness of waking to a childish sounding yawn.

Come watch the no colors fade blazing into petal sprays of violets of dawn.
