Lyrics from From the 1973 Live Album, Land of Make Believe,
Chuck Mangione Quartet with the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra & Esther Satterfield, vocalist:
When you're feeling down and out
Wondering what this world's about
I know a place that has the answer.
It's a place where no one dies.
It's a land where no one cries.
And good vibrations always
Greet you.
How I love when my thoughts run
To the land of make believe.
Where everything is fun
Forever.
Children always gather around
Mother Goose and all her rhyme
They fill the air with sounds
Of laughter.
People dancing
Their hearts are filled
With all the reasons why.
You and I should learn the way
Of the land of make believe
And make this world of ours
Much brighter.
I once asked the Wizard of Oz
For the secret of his land
He said, "Just take a look around here.
Seven dwarfs and Little Boy Blue,
Uncle Remus and Snow White, too.
(Now, just between us,
That's what's known as integration.)
Jack and Jill are hard at work
Helping children dream awhile,
And Snoopy's making smiles
For grown-ups.
All the elves are making toys
They are rich with all the joys
Of seeing happy kids
At Christmas.
We are waiting
To help you find
The dream made just for you.
In a few words let's just say
That in answer to your quiz
Imagination is
The secret."
Hear the music of the band
It was written in our land
For what's a song but someone's
Dream?
In your world there was a King
He once said, "I have a dream,"
Now there's a man who knew
The secret.
Dreams are really
The thoughts that you
Have hidden in your heart.
When you start a brand new day
Let your heart show you the way
And make a dream or two
Come true.
How I love when my thoughts run
To the land of make believe
Where everything is fun
Forever.

Lyrics to Winelight, the 1980 instrumental song originally recorded by Grover Washington, Jr., Music by William Eaton, Lyrics by Kurt Elling (2003)
In the wine light, livin' lovin's soft delights
Smooth and mellow, feelin' how we move so right
We're lettin' the time go, and takin' it nice and slow.
In the wine light, lazyin' through this all night flight
Higher and higher, baby, touchin' you with second sight
We're over the rainbow, it's time to let it flow
Baby, you're my lover, no other I'd ask to stay
And make a hideaway with me.
Dreaming in Burgundy
Lookin' out the window at the universe's starry array, we can say
"Everything's OK, you see" as long as you're here with me
We can leave the world or make it go.
We can lose it in the undertow
If you say it's true, then we can push it away
As long as you stay
Whatever you say
Please, baby, just stay
And let this wine light, colour every look tonight
Feel the love grow, and let our spirits reunite
We never will let go, until we overflow

Lyrics to Make Me a Memory, the 1980 instrumental song by Grover Washington Jr., (lyricist unknown)
Hello again, it's you and me
Kinda always like it used to be
Sippin' wine, killing time
Trying to solve life's mysteries
How's your life, it's been awhile?
God it's good to see you smile
I see you reaching for your keys
Looking for a reason not to leave
If you don't know if you should stay
If you don't say what's on your mind
Baby just breathe
There's nowhere else tonight we should be
You wanna make a memory?
You wanna steal a piece of time?
You can sing the melody to me
And I can write a couple lines

(instrumental arrangement)
Lyrics from From the 1977 album by Chuck Mangione, Feels So Good, with Don Potter, vocals
There's no place for me to hide
The thoughts of all the time I cried
And felt this pain
That I have known
Because I needed just to hear
That special something
And then one day
You just appear
You said "hello"
"Let's make love along the way"
Your name is music to my heart
I'll always really love you
Feel so good when I'm with you
I can't believe you love me too
With you it feels like it should feel
With you it feels so good
