A Whole New World

I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?

I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride

A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming

A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Now I'm in a whole new world with you

Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky

A whole new world
Don't you dare close your eyes
A hundred thousand things to see
Hold your breath - it gets better
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be

A whole new world
Every turn a surprise
With new horizons to pursue
Every moment red-letter
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you

A whole new world
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me

Heard this on radio. (Yes, i listens to light and easy, sometimes) This song triggers vague memories of Aladdin taking Jasmine on a magic carpet ride, i remember it ended with them sitting on a rooftop watching fireworks. Awww..how romantic! and oh my, the words.

I can never describe my sentiments towards this song and the movie. Amazing. It makes me feels so happy yet anxious and excited, all at the same time like i'm the one on the magic carpet. So many emotions (not only the ones i've mentioned above) blunder into one and the capacity to store it all is just not enough so much so it overwhelms me, all the time. Feels like bursting of happiness! haha..

Yes, and i'm well aware of the facts that disney movies does normally gives this kind of effect on people with it's happy endings and all. Somehow, i particularly liked this movie, way way more than any other disney production. Somehow the singing complements the animation and everything seems so.. so.. perfect.

Maybe it's the lyrics, maybe the 'prince/princess' settings, or the magic carpet rides. All of it had seemed so perfect through the eyes of a 5 year old who have yet to understand the romance in it. Even now, i still have that tingling feeling of happiness as i recount all those blissful times i've watched this movie as a kid. I've got to watch it again, soon. =)
