Lyrics

Act One, Scene One... A nursery!
 It's the Darling House. And look, see?
 Preparing the beds is Nana, the family
 Dog, because the Darlings couldn't afford
 A real nanny. But it didn't matter, because
 They were happy and didn't care
 Oh, Peter.
 I won't go to bed! I won't! I won't!
 That's what I say!
 Nana, it isn't six o'clock yet!
 Alright, I'm going to bed, I'm going to bed
 And then, the most amazing boy flies in
 Through the window!
 ♪
 Goodness, a boy who flies!
 
 Why are you crying?
 I wasn't crying. But I can't get my shadow
 To stick on
 It has come off! How awful! You've been
 Trying to stick it on with soap!
 Well then?
 It must be sewn on
 And so Wendy sews on Peter's shadow
 And Peter is so happy he dances with it
 Around the room!
 ♪
 Oh Wendy, one girl is worth more than twenty boys
 I shall give you a kiss, Peter, if you like
 Thank you
 Don't you know what a kiss is?
 I shall know one when you give it to me
 And so not to hurt his feelings, Wendy
 Gives Peter a thimble for his finger
 Now shall I give you a kiss?
 If you please
 And in return, Peter gives Wendy an acorn
 Thank you, Peter. I shall wear it on
 A chain around my neck
 That's not a kiss, even I know that!
 That's the point! It's clever!
 And then, this is my favorite bit
 Peter shows Wendy how to fly!
 We can sail away tonight
 On a sea of pure moonlight
 We can navigate the stars
 To bring us back home
 In a place so far away
 We are young
 That's how we'll stay
 And with your hand in my hand
 We will find ourselves
 In Never Neverland
 Ahhhh!
 Pirates!
 That's Captain James-Hook. He's the
 He's the most dastardly rouge that ever lived
 Oh. I love this guy! He's such a
 Good for nothing scoundrel!
 Peter flung my arm to a crocodile! And he
 Liked it so much, he's followed me ever
 Since, from land to land and sea to sea
 Licking his lips for the rest of me
 Oy, It's the crocodile!
 Indians! Like the characters we invited
 In the park!
 ♪
 While we were make-believing
 Mr. Barrie was writing all the while
 Yes, a lot of this seems rather familiar...
 Yes look, there are pirates
 And indians!
 And fairies!
 Even a crocodile!
 I hope I'm not the crocodile!
 I hear the mermaids
 Such a beautiful sound
 Ahh
 Just a little faith and
 Both your feet leave the ground
 We can sail away tonight
 On a sea of pure moonlight
 We can navigate the stars
 To bring us back home
 In a place so far away
 We'll be young
 That's how we'll stay
 Every wish is a command
 In this special place
 Here in Neverland
 Oh no, Tinker Bell!
 What is she saying, Peter?
 She drank his medicine because
 It was poisoned
 She drank it to save his life?
 Is... is Tink dying?
 Look. Her light is growing faint. If it goes out
 That means she's dead
 She says she thinks she can get well
 Again, if children believe in fairies
 And do you? Do you believe in fairies?
 If you believe, clap your hands!
 I believe! Come along, children!
 Everyone! Clap louder!!
 ♪
 That is Neverland
 Picture a land
 That you never have seen
 Where life is eternal and evergreen
 A future of happiness all in your hands
 All in this place of your dreams
 Here inside Neverland
 Shooting stars
 New shapes and sizes
 Wakenings and new surprises
 Opening my eyes to something happening
 Neverland
 Universe of constant spinning
 Every end and new beginning
 I begin to feel that something's happening to me
 Ah, ah, ah, ah
 Ah, ah, ah, ah
 You just close your eyes
 And count to ten
 Breath in twice
 And open them
 You know where to go
 You have been there before
 In your heart...
 ♪
 And by closing my eyes
 I'll be finding Neverland
