Beyond the Laughing Sky

"Beyond the Laughing Sky" is a deleted song that was written for Alice in Wonderland. It was later replaced with "In a World of My Own", sung by Alice.

The music was written by Sammy Fain, with the lyrics by Bob Hilliard. Fain's  tune was recycled and rewritten as " The Second Star to the Right " for  Peter Pan, which was released two years later.

Lyrics
Why does the whispering wind

Sound like a lullaby?

Is that the magic music from

Beyond the laughing sky?

Why can't the swallows remain?

Where is the place they fly?

Why can't I go along with them

Beyond the laughing sky?

If I climbed the highest tree,

Where, oh where would I be?

Would I find a place for me

In the land of grand enchantment?

Where do the clouds disappear

When they go rolling by?

I'm wondering about the world

Beyond the laughing sky
