| Once I built a castle in the air
|
| A home for you and I-
|
| In a blue, blue sky
|
| We’d leave behind the weight of worldly care
|
| I thought we could fly
|
| We only had to try
|
| Ah, I had to learn fast, (For your own good)
|
| I had to learn fast
|
| And when I knew at last (You understood)
|
| I knew at last
|
| Hell and heaven can be one and the same
|
| If you don’t know how
|
| You should know by now
|
| Every pleasure always holds an equal amount of pain
|
| But it all works out
|
| I have no doubt
|
| Ah, we had to learn fast, (For our own good)
|
| We had to barn fast
|
| And when we knew at last (When we understood)
|
| We knew at last
|
| Every kite has got to have a string for it to fly
|
| Up to who knows where?
|
| Castles in the air
|
| So there are strings attached to you and I
|
| Though they hold us tight
|
| We can take flight |
