I wish I had a pair of little magic glasses That I could see the future just by lookin' through Then I could know what road tomorrow's gonna take me down And I could see if I'll be walkin' down that road with you
I would keep my little magic glasses hidden I would let nobody else see what I see And everyone would want to know how I can know what lies ahead And they'll wonder when I say tomorrow I see you with me
But if I see into the future that I'm on the road alone And where the way was sunny, now there's only rain
I'll put them in a box and seal it with a lock And I'll never take my little magic glasses out again I will put them in a box and seal it with a lock And I'll never take my little magic glasses out again And I'll never take my little magic glasses out again
