## Letra

   Yes yes right between the sound machine On a cloud a sound I drift into the night Any place it goes is right
   Goes far flies near to the stars away from here Well you don't know what uh we can find Why don't you come with me little girl? On a magic carpet ride You don't know what we can see Why don't you tell your dreams to me? Fantasy will set you free Close your eyes girl Look inside girl
   Let the sound take you away Last night I hold Aladdin's lamp and so I wished that I could stay Before the thing could answer me Well someone came and took the lamp away I looked around a lousy candle was all I found
   Well you don't know what uh we can find Why don't you come with me little girl On a magic carpet ride Well you don't know what we can see Why don't you tell your dreams to me? Fantasy will set you free Close your eyes girl Look inside girl Let the sound take you away
   You don't know what uh we can find Why don't you come with me little girl? On a magic carpet ride
