Up In The Sky
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He wants to be
Up in the sky, so high
Above the clouds, down below
So low
She wants to be
Right by his side
Lay on her back and watch the world
Pass by
Life's too short for the living
You know that life's too long for the dying
But it's alright
Don't you know it's alright?
Up in the sky
They can finally be alone
Then they'll be no
Burden to anyone
Anymore
To anyone
Ever again
He puts his hat
Under his arm
Soon he is leaving, please don't be
Alarmed
She's packed a lunch
In a white paper bag
And told the nurses, they're all mad
Quite mad
Cause life's too short for the living
You know that life's too long for the dying
But it's alright
Don't you know it's alright?
Up in the sky
They can finally be alone
Then they'll be no
Burden to anyone
Anymore
Anyone
Ever again
SOLO
Mmmm
Up in the sky
They can finally be alone
Then they'll be no
Burden to anyone
Anymore
To anyone
Ever again
To anyone
Anymore
Anyone
Ever again
To anyone
Anymore
Anyone
Ever again
