Oh, the can-vas can do mir-a-cles, just you wait and see
Be-lieve me...
It's not far to nev-er-nev-er land, no rea-son to pre-tend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy of in-no-cence a-gain
Oh, the can-vas can do mir-a-cles, just you wait and see

Just a dream and the wind to car-ry me And soon I will be free
Fan-ta-sy, it gets the best of me when I'm sail-ing All caught up in the rev-er-ie,

Sail-ing takes me a-way to where I've al-ways heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to car-ry me And soon I will be free

Be---lieve me...
Sail-ing takes me a-way to where I've al-ways heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to car-ry me And soon I will be free
