Tonight We Fly

Tonight we fly

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
