[00:11.88]Somewhere there's another land
[00:14.78]different from this world below,
[00:18.73]far more mercifully planned
[00:22.30]than the cruel place we know.
[00:27.44]Innocence and peace are there--
[00:32.06]all is good that is desired.
[00:36.46]Faces there are always fair;
[00:42.41]love grows never old nor tired.
[00:48.37]
[00:49.66]We shall never find that lovely
[00:53.98]land of might-have-been.
[00:58.22]I can never be your king nor
[01:02.07]you can be my queen.
[01:06.34]Days may pass and years may pass
[01:10.57]and seas may lie between--
[01:15.70]We shall never find that lovely
[01:20.07]land of might-have-been.
[01:23.80]
[01:24.77]Sometimes on the rarest nights
[01:28.64]comes the vision calm and clear,
[01:32.95]gleaming with unearthly lights
[01:36.47]on our path of doubt and fear.
[01:41.41]Winds from that far land are blown,
[01:46.52]whispering with secret breath--
[01:52.28]hope that plays a tune alone,
[01:58.54]love that conquers pain and death.
[02:04.76]
[02:06.27]Shall we ever find that lovely
[02:11.00]land of might-have-been?
[02:15.21]Will I ever be your king or you
[02:20.67]at last my queen?
[02:23.95]Days may pass and years may pass
[02:28.11]and seas may lie between--
[02:33.27]Shall we ever find that lovely
[02:38.18]land of might-have-been?
