Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Way up in the sky
Over the city, over Tokyo
Silver light, summer moon
You'll be over somebody's winter, this afternoon
[Verse 2]
While the dolphins swim in the sea
You're going grey, my baby
Still the war is waging endlessly
Day after day, day after day
[Verse 3]
Way up in the sky
Over the city and Lake Erie
You remember the flats, you were there
Out every night, Mr. Moonlight
[Verse 4]
'Round and 'round and 'round we go
Just like yesterday
[Verse 5]
Way up in the sky
Over the city where you sleep tonight
The light outside your window blinks
Hotel, hotel, hotel
Open the blind and dream in a moonbeam
[Verse 6]
When the war's finally over, we'll meet again
And pick up where we left off
