Lyrics

Skylark, have you anything to say to me?
Won’t you tell me where my love can be?
Is there a meadow in the mist
Where someone’s waiting to be kissed?
Skylark, have you seen a valley green with spring?
Where my heart can go a-journeying
Over the shadows and the rain
To a blossom covered lane?
And in your lonely flight
Haven’t you heard the music in the night?
Wonderful music, faint as a will o’ the wisp
Crazy as a loon, sad as a gypsy serenading the moon
Oh, skylark, I don’t know if you can find these things
But my heart is riding on your wings
So if you see them anywhere
Won’t you lead me there?
