<SPOKEN> "'way past
your bedtime." (Crowd laughs and then subsides) "Only kiddin', kids.
Long ago and far away, I dreamed
a dream one day
And now that dream is here
beside me
Long the skies were overcast but
now the clouds have passed
You're here at last
Chills run up and down my spine,
Aladdin's lamp is mine
The dream I dreamed was not
denied me
Just one look and then I knew
That all I longed for long ago
was you
<music break>
Chills run up and down my spine,
Aladdin's lamp is mine
The dream I dreamed was not
denied me
Just one look and then I knew
That all I longed for long ago
was you
