Magic Window - June Christy

I suppose there's a lot you've never heard of

In a way you're a very lucky lad

In the books that you haven't ever read a word of

There's a great bunch of friends you've never had

I envy the fun you've got in store

Doing what you haven't done before

Someday you'll be looking through a magic window

And you'll see yourself sail off with captain kid

What adventures you'll enjoy

And you'll be the only boy

To discover where the treasure chest was hid

And if I remember that's what I once did

I remember looking through a magic window

And I saw myself teach Robin Hood to aim

Then what mischief I got in

Meetin' Huckleberry Finn

And I sighed through that magic window frame

You can bet your bottom dream you'll do the same

With your nose against the glass and your elbows on the sill

You'll be a partner of buffalo bill

Or help solve a case with Sherlock Holmes

Or you'll get to go with Gulliver each time he roams

Grownups don't know where to find that magic window

But it's any window little boys look through

There's so much for you to see

So don't ever say to me

That you've got a lot of growing up to do

'Cause I wish that I were growing down to you
