Peter Paul & Mary - The Unicorn Song lyrics

When I was growing up my best friend was a unicorn<br>The others smiled at me and called me crazy<br>But I was not upset by knowing I did not conform<br>I always thought their seeing must be hazy.<br>The unicorn and I would while away the hours<br>Playing, dancing and romancing in the wild flowers<br>And we'd sing<br><br>(chorus)<br>Seeing is believing in the things you see<br>Loving is believing in the ones you love.<br>Seeing is believing in the things you see<br>Loving is believing in the ones you love.<br><br>When I was seventeen my best friend was the northern star<br>The others asked why I was always dreaming<br>When I did not reply I found my thoughts were very far<br>Away from daily hurts and fears and scheming.<br>The northern star and I would share our dreams together<br>Laughing, sighing, sometimes crying, in all kinds of weather<br>And we'd sing<br><br>(chorus)<br><br>And now that I am grown, my best friend lives inside of me<br>The others smile at me and call me crazy<br>But I am not upset, for long ago I found the key<br>I've always known their seeing must be hazy.<br>My friend inside and I would while away the hours<br>Playing, dancing and romancing in the wild flowers<br>And we'd sing<br><br>(chorus x2)
