Lyrics
- Sweetheart, I can remember
When I was a kid so high
I read a fairy book story
I’ll never forget till I die
Twas all about Alice in some wonderland
And Alice was dreaming, you see
But dear, I’m not dreaming
I’m more than awake
For this is what’s happened to me
Refrain
Oh, Alice, I’m in wonderland
Since the day that I first met you
Oh, Alice, I can understand
Why flowers and birdies love you, too
Your smile is like a sweet day in June
And your voice, is like an Old Master’s tune
Oh, Alice, I’m in wonderland
Since the day that I first met you
- Sweetheart, I often wander
All thro’ wonderland with you
That land is dreamland, and you , dear
You’re planning just what we will do
At first we are kneeling, and I answer “yes”
And I hear you say you’ll obey
But then I awake and I find it’s a dream
Oh, please sweetheart mine, name the day
