Somewhere there's another land different from this world below
Far more mercifully planned than the cruel place we know
Innocence and peace are there, all is good that is desired
Faces there are always fair
Love grows never old nor tired
We shall never find that lovely Land of Might-Have-Been
I shall never be your king nor you can be my queen
Days may pass and years may pass and seas may lie between,
We shall never find that lovely Land of Might-Have-Been
Sometimes on the rarest nights comes the vision calm and clear
Gleaming with unearthly lights on our path of doubt and fear
Winds of that far land are blown, whispering with secret breath
Hope that plays her tune alone
Love that conquers pain and death
Shall we ever find that lovely Land of Might-Have-Been?
Will I ever be your king or you at last my queen?
Days may pass and years may pass and seas may lie between
Shall we ever find that lovely Land of Might-Have-Been?
