Lyrics

Renaissance Fair

[Chorus]

I think that maybe I'm dreaming

[Verse 1]

I smell cinnamon and spices

I hear music everywhere

All around kaleidoscope of color

[Chorus]

I think that maybe I'm dreaming

[Verse 2]

Maids pass gracefully in laughter

Wine-colored flowers in their hair

Last call from lands I've never been to

[Chorus]

I think that maybe I'm dreaming

[Verse 3]

Suns flash on a sort of prism

Bright jewels on the ladies flashing

Eyes catch on a shiny prism

[Verse 4]

Hear ye the crying of the vendors

Fruit for sale, wax candles for to burn

Fires flare, soon it will be night fall

[Chorus]

I think that maybe I'm dreaming

I think that maybe I'm dreaming

I think that maybe I'm dreaming
