Pure Imagination

This is one of my very favorite songs of all time, from one of my very favorite movies of all time, based on one of my very favorite books of all time. I love Gene Wilder's gentle, hopeful-yet-slightly-melancholy take on the lyrics (he totally gets it!)




Pure Imagination

"Come with me
And you'll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look
And you'll see
Into your imagination
We'll begin
With a spin
Traveling in the world of my creation
What we'll see
Will defy explanation
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There's nothing
To it
There is no
Life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there you'll be free
If you truly wish to be..."
