I can show you the world
She leaned down from her broom,
Held her pearly green hand down to me.
Shining, shimmering, splendid
I let her lift me onto the broom,
And then I settled in front of her,
Smoothed my dress.
Placing her hands over mine,
She let her arms settle around my waist.
"Hold on, Glinda. We're going to fly.
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?"
I can open your eyes
The broom carried us up.
The world of Oz spun away.
Take you wonder by wonder
She showed me the great Gillikin forests,
The Emerald city as a tiny green speck.
Over, sideways and under
Then she took me up and away,
Spinning us through the clouds
On a magic carpet ride.
A whole new world
Even when we had been alone together,
The world had gotten in our way.
A new fantastic point of view
As we flew breathlessly over the landscape,
I realized that this was just the two of us.
No one to tell us no
Nobody told us who to be.
Or where to go
The wind whipped her hat off of her head,
But she wasn't required to be a witch
So it didn't matter.
Or say we're only dreaming.
A whole new world
She leaned forward, pressing against my back.
Her cheek touched mine.
A dazzling place I never knew
It was just us, flying away.
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
She murmured into my ear, "I love you."
Because there was nobody to tell her she couldn't love.
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
And I told her I loved her, too.
Because there was nobody to tell me who to love.
Now I'm in a whole new world with you.
Unbelievable sights
The world seemed so small,
Its problems so insignificant.
Indescribable feeling
She leaned forward and kissed me.
She would've kissed me more,
But she had forgotten to steer and we twirled downward.
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
We soared back upwards.
I wasn't afraid as we flew
Through an endless diamond sky.
A whole new world
She landed the broom and we were somewhere I'd never been.
She kissed me again, this time for longer.
I closed my eyes and let myself just feel.
She pulled back.
"Don't you dare close your eyes."
And kissed me again.
I kept my eyes open.
A hundred thousand things to see
A million lights shone in her eyes.
Hold your breath - it gets better
We both lay down,
And it was just us, and the soft mossy ground.
I'm like a shooting star
I was still soaring through the air,
But it was her love that carried me.
I've come so far
"I'm going to love you forever and ever.
I can't go back to where I used to be."
A whole new world
We climbed back onto the broom
She wrapped her arms around my waist
And we took off again.
Every turn a surprise
The sky seemed different than before,
With new horizons to pursue.
I didn't care, I just wanted to be with Elphie.
Every moment red-letter
She flew us back to the window of my chambers
Of my home with Chuffrey.
I'll chase them anywhere
She turned to leave and I called,
"Don't go!
There's time to spare."
She flew back and we kissed goodbye.
"Don't go, Elphie.
Let me share this whole new world with you."
But this time she did fly away.
A whole new world
This never happened.
That's where we'll be
But it could've.
A thrilling chase
A single decision
Could change the world.
A wondrous place
I wonder if Elphie ever thinks
About changing the past.
Sometimes, I think to myself,
"What could I have done?
How could I have made the world different
For you and me?"
