Sunshine castle in the air
Full of treasures, happy music, and love
Majestic fortress high on a cliff
Above a sea of dreams
Where clouds hang in blue skies
And loneliness is only an illusion
Hallowed mansion of lore
Hung with portraits of genteel heroes
Lovely ladies, and tapestried
Scenes of maidens and nymphs
Silver and gold and solid wooden tables
Laden with delicious repast
Music of flute and lyre
Before the hearth, a barefoot gypsy woman
Dances, with laughing dark eyes
In a castle by the sea
Of mystery and dreams
