Lyrics
There is a captivating land
Where the skies are ever blue
It’s made a fascinating land
By poppies crimson hue
You’ll see a very lovely night
A dream of colorful delight
Each bud is blooming for you
Refrain
So come with me
Were the blossoms grow in Poppyland
What joy ’twill be just we two, dear
Strolling hand in hand
We’ll hear the drowsy hum of the bees
Borne upon the whispering breeze
There I’ll tell that wonderful story
And you’ll understand
For lurking deep in the heart
Of each seductive flow’r
That gaily blooms, you will find
A sweet compelling pow’r
And, darling, while the birds are singing above
We will talk of nothing but love
When we are hand in hand in Poppyland
