<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
