When I was growing up my best friend was a unicorn
|
The others smiled at me and called me "crazy"
|
But I was not upset by knowing I did not conform
|
I always thought their seeing must be hazy.
|
The unicorn and I would while away the hours
|
Playing, dancing and romancing in the wild flowers
|
And we'd sing
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Seeing is believing in the things you see
|
Loving is believing in the ones you love.
|
Seeing is believing in the things you see
|
Loving is believing in the ones you love.
|
|
When I was seventeen my best friend was the Northern Star
|
The others asked why I was always dreaming
|
When I did not reply I found my thoughts were very far
|
Away from daily hurts and fears and scheming.
|
The Northern Star and I would share our dreams together
|
Laughing, sighing, sometimes crying, in all kinds of weather
|
and we'd sing
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
And now that I am grown, my best friend lives inside of me
|
The others smile at me and call me "crazy"
|
But I am not upset, for long ago I found the key
|
I've always known their seeing must be hazy.
|
My friend inside and I would while away the hours
|
Playing, dancing and romancing in the wild flowers
|
And we'd sing
|
|
(Chorus X2)
|
