Novello: The land of might-have-been

[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?
