Over the houses
|
The streets and the trees
|
Over the dogs down below
|
They'll bark at our shadows
|
As we float by on the breeze
|
|
Tonight we fly
|
Over the chimney tops
|
Skylights and slates -
|
Looking into all your lives
|
And wondering why
|
Happiness is so hard to find
|
|
Over the doctor, over the soldier
|
Over the farmer, over the poacher
|
Over the preacher, over the gambler
|
Over the teacher, over the rambler
|
Over the lawyer, over the dancer
|
Over the voyeur,over the builder and the destroyer,
|
Over the hills and far away
|
|
Tonight we fly
|
Over the mountains
|
The beach and the sea
|
Over the friends that we've known
|
And those that we now know
|
And those who we've yet to meet
|
|
And when we die
|
Oh, will we be
|
That disappointed
|
Or sad
|
If heaven doesn't exist
|
What will we have missed
|
This life is the best we've ever had
|
