| 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 |
