Skylark

(Hoagy Carmichael /John Mercer)

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 in 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?
