My Camera (Oh How I Wish)

Kon Kan

Compositor: Barry Harris / Bobby Godfrey / Mitchel Halstead

There's a place a million miles from here
The kind of place that lies beyond compare
In the middle of an ocean
There's an island in the sun
Let's get away, take a break, make the great escape

I know a club, it's east of paradise
Where we can dance under the Latin skies
Though we don't need any money
To imagine we're afar
But how I wish that I could bring my camera

I've seen a house, it's waiting on a hill
For you and me, it's got a view to thrill
Though I know it's just a fantasy
It overlooks the bay
Just close your eyes, I'll take you there
Come on, we're on our way

And there's a beach, I know you see it too
And we can do just what we wanna do
No, we don't need any money
To imagine we're afar
But how I wish that I could bring my camera

As long as we're together, only you and me
Nothing we can't dream about, we're making memories
It doesn't matter if it's near or if it's far
But if I had one wish, I'd take a camera

Yeah, there's a place a million miles from here
The kind of place that lies beyond compare
In the middle of an ocean
There's an island in the sun
Just close your eyes, I'll take you there
Come on, we're on our way

I know a club, it's east of paradise
And we can dance under the Latin skies
Though we don't need any money
To imagine we're afar
But how I wish that I could bring my camera
Oh, how I wish that I could bring my camera
My camera, my camera
