## Lyrics

### Film version

**Aladdin:** 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

**Jasmine:** 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

**Aladdin:** Now I'm in a whole new world with you

**Jasmine:** Unbelievable sights

Indescribable feeling

Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling

Through an endless diamond sky

A whole new world (**Aladdin:** Don't you dare close your eyes)

A hundred thousand things to see (**Aladdin:** 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

**Aladdin:** A whole new world (**Jasmine:** Every turn a surprise)

With new horizons to pursue (**Jasmine:** Every moment red-letter)

**Both:**

I'll chase them anywhere

There's time to spare

Let me share this whole new world with you

**Aladdin:**

A whole new world (**Jasmine:** A whole new world)

That's where we'll be (**Jasmine:** That's where we'll be)

**Aladdin:** A thrilling chase

**Jasmine:** A wondrous place

**Both:** For you and me

### Reprise version

**Aladdin:** A whole new world

**Jasmine:** A whole new life

**Both:** For you and me

**Chorus:** A whole new world

*(vocalizes)*

### Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle's version

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 now from way up here

It's crystal clear

That 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

With new horizons to pursue

I'll chase them anywhere

There's time to spare

Let me share this whole new world with you

A whole new world

(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

(Every turn a surprise)

With new horizons to pursue

(Every moment red-letter)

I'll chase them anywhere

There's time to spare

Anywhere

There's time to spare

Let me share this whole new world with you (you)

A whole new world

(A whole new world)

That's where we'll be

(Where we will be)

A thrilling chase

A wondrous place

For you and me
