_ _ [A] _ million [G] white flowers [F] in a field in the sky
[C] Seemed to spell out a greeting [F] as the children flew by
[Am] A garden, [G] a chariot [F] of silver and gold
[C] Gave the children all tickets [F] and the story he told
[Am] Of a time in [G] the future, back [F] when sunshine and flowers
[C] And the children grew sleepy [F] in the sky's white towers
[Am] They dreamed of [G] the story that [F] the God had displayed
[C] They saw all the wonders, [F] tiny minds were amazed
[Am] They saw candy [G] forests and [F] dragons that breathed fire
[C] A hall that rules evil in [F] the misty mire
_ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ Into [G] the village where [F] the turtles in caves
[C] Made pies for the people and [F] the lemonade
[Am] The people [G] lived out by the [F] sea and each day
[C] The seagulls would wake them [F] as they passed on their way
[A] The people [G] were kindly, they [F] would sing to the sky
[C] And each bright new morning [F] the sun shone from their eyes
[Am] The children _ [G] passed over and [F] all the people could see
[C] As they dived from the spire [F] to the treacle sea
[Am] They bathed on [G] the white sand, then [F] it turned into ours
[C] And the children all giggled [F] and gave each other _ [C] flowers _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [A] The king from [G] his castle _ [F] came down to the sea
[C] And he spoke to the children [F] so patiently
[Am] He gave them [G] small presents [F] and bid them farewell
[C] And the children unwrapped their [F] tiny silver bells
[A] Their _ tinkling [G] _
floated across [F] the island with ease
[C] And it came back to haunt them [F] on the perfume breeze
[Am] They smiled at [G] the tinkling, they [F] gazed at the sun
[C] And they smiled at each other, [F] pretty little ones
[Am] A _ beautiful [G] white horse came [F] down to the sea
[C] And the children all climbed up [F] as he knelt on one knee
[C] They _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ rode through [G] the valleys [F] and high over hills
[C] And they laughed oh so loudly, [F] their fear to kill
[Am] They came to [G] a lakeside of [F] deep velvet and green
[C] And they all stared in wonder [F] at its beauty serene
[A] They climbed from the [G] white horse, [F] they watched as it goes
[C] As they stood by the green lake, [F] watched it kiss their toes
[Am] A boat in [G] the distance [F] was suddenly there
[C] Waiting to take the children [F] to anywhere
[A] The _ _ [G] porcupine captain _ [F] said that he didn't mind
[C] In his coat of plant needles [F] he looked very _ [C] kind
His _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [Am] crew were [G] six rabbits [F] with fluffy white ears
[C] And the children all stroked them [F] and lost all their fears
[Am] They sailed through [G] the sunshine, [F] across the green lake
[C] And they drank lemonade, [F] and they ate ice cream cake
[Am] They _ landed [G] in a dark cave, as [F] their boat disappeared
[C] And they all stood in darkness, [F] through the shadows they peered
[Am] But out of [G] the blackness, [F] sharp diamonds so bright
[C] Many tiny white hands, [F] shooed light from the lights
[Am] In a pool of [G] quicksilver, _ [F] stood Neptune so wise
[C] In pearls were his white teeth, [F] bright diamonds his [C] eyes _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] He _ _ [Am] spoke to [G] the children, [F] in a voice of velvet
[C] And he beckoned them to him, [F] in a circle they sat
[Am] He told of [G] Sky Island, [F] and of his magic cave
[C] And magic pink seashells, [F] to the children he gave
[Am] They listened _ _ [G] intently, _ [F] as the music came forth
[C] From the magic pink seashells, [F] and nobody talked
[Am] But Neptune [G] had vanished, when [F] they lifted their eyes
So [C] they walked from the cave, [F] as the kingfishers cried
In [Am] the bright, shiny [G] sunlight, they [F] got down on one knee
They [C] listened to the seashells of [F] the musical sea
[C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] So _ _ [A] _ _ much [G] darker, so they [F] climbed on the breeze
And [C] they floated to the village, and [F] the people pleased
To [Am] see them so [G] happy, with [F] their tinkling bells
And [C] the people all listened, to [F] the musical shells
But [A] the children _ were [G] so sad, the [F] time had come to leave
So [C] the people waved goodbye, [F] and beckoned to leave
Of [Am] the wonders they [G] had seen, in [F] the ironed of the sky
And the [C] children said they would, and [F] away they did fly
Through the [Am] white clouds of [G] no time, [F] till forever it seems
And the [C] children stayed children, [F] and they lived in their dreams
