The Magic Window Songtext
von Nat King Cole

I suppose there's a lot you've never heard of
In a way you're a very lucky lad
In the books that you haven't read a word of
There's a great bunch of friends you've never had
I envy the fun you've got in store
Doing what you haven't done before

Someday you'll be looking through a magic window
And you'll see yourself sail off with Captain Kidd
Ah what adventures you'll enjoy,
And you'll be the only boy,
To discover where that treasure chest was hid
And if I remember that's what I once did


I remember looking through a magic window
And I saw myself teach Robin Hood to aim
Ah Oh then what mischief I got in meeting HuckleberryFinn
And I saw it through that magic window frame
You can bet your bottom dream you'll do the same

With your nose against glass and your elbows on the sill
You'll be a big partner of Buffalo Bill
Or help solvea case with Sherlock Holmes
Or you'll get to go with Gullivereach time he roams

Grown up's don't know where to find that magic window
But it's any window little boys look through
Ah there's so much for you to see, so don't ever say to me
That you've got a lot of growing up to do
