Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- I’ve a wond’rous castle
That I’ve never lived in yet
Built so many years ago
In days that I forget
It has no stone battlements
And great big wooden beams
It’s walls and its bars are the dust of the stars
And its gate the gate of dreams
Refrain
Come out there for a visit
I’ve lots of room for friends
And if you ask where is it?
It’s where the rainbow ends
It’s somewhere there in Fairyland
Where there’s never cloud or care
We’ll have joy and laughter, mirth and song
And we’ll all be happy as the day is long
In the shelter of my castle
Of my castle in the air
- Ev’rything is perfect
That you’ll find there when you go
Just beyond the milky way
And where the moonbeams grow
No one ever worries there
For ev’rything goes right
The sky’s always blue and no lover’s untrue
And your life’s one long delight
