June Christy - Magic Window lyrics

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
Ever 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
What adventures you'll enjoy
And you'll be the only boy
To discover where the 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
Then what mischief I got in
Meeting Huckleberry Finn
And I sighed through that magic window frame
You can bet your bottom dream
You'll do the same

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

Grownups don't know where to
Find that magic window
But, it's any window little boys look through
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
'Cause, I wish that I were
Growing down to you
