My heart is higher
than a hawk
My love is deeper
than a well
I'm thinkin'
in a little while
my love and I'll...
be doin' very well
An owl is givin' me
the eye
the wind is blowin'
me a kiss
I wouldn't be
at all surprised
if I were only
dreamin' all of this
And when I
strut about like
a Sunny Jim
dressed in yeller and red
Folks'll shout
"Take a look at him,
he's tetched
in the head"...
I said that I
would never fall
I laughed at others
when they fell
And here I'm falling
higher than a hawk
and deeper than a well...
And when we're
all rigged out
like a birthday cake
eyes'll pop everywhere
Folks'll shout
"Don't you think
they make
a wonderful pair?"
I said that
I would never fall
but if you promise
not to tell...
My love for you
is higher than a hawk
and deeper
than a well....
