There is a captivating land
where the skies are ever blue,
It's made a fascinating land by
poppies crimson hue,
You'll see a very lovely night
a dream of colorful delight,
Each bud is blooming for you.

So come with me
where the blossoms grow in poppyland,
What joy 'twill be just we two dear,
strolling hand in hand,
We'll hear the drowsy hum of the bees,
Borne upon the whispering breeze,
There I'll tell that wonderful story,
and you'll understand,
for harking deep in the heart
of each seductive flow'r
That gaily blooms,
you will find a sweet compelling pow'r,
and darling, while the birds are sitting above
we will talk of nothing but love
When we are hand in hand
in Poppyland.

and darling, while the birds are sitting above
we will talk of nothing but love
When we are hand in hand
in Poppyland.
