Candylion

From Candylion2007

Lyrics

Candylion

A long time ago, In the Kingdom of Candy, A lion once roamed the streets, And kept time. Howled on the hour, Whined on the minute, Roared every second, Day of the year. Candylion Dreams can come true, Nightmares can also, Opposites push and pull to the fore. Morph into flowers, Or a frozen winter, Wer're flying in love, Or falling in hate Candylion Candy A penguin and carnation Lion A lemon and Dalmation Candy And 'though I look for inspiration Lion Still my favorite combinations' Candylion
