When Pigs Fly

I know you for a dreamer
Cause I've been a dreamer too
You got that faraway look in your searching eyes
And a heart that's steady & true
I think I know what you're looking for
In the endless blue of the sky
You wait for the time when pigs fly
Get out here somebody tell you
That dreams are nothing but air,
Did I hear somebody try to say
That imagination will take you nowhere
If anyone says it can't be done
As the time just simply reply
It's a beautiful thing when pigs fly
You never know and it will be
But they'll surely come around
Flashes of pink and flashes of gold
And a distant and joyful sound when pigs fly
Fly-yyyyy
I know for a dreamer
Cause I've been a dreamer too
You got that faraway look in your searching eyes
And a heart that's steady & true
Are we suddenly seen a dozen remor??
Sailing in the clear blue sky
The time has come when pigs fly
Yeah, it's a beautiful thing when pigs fly
