Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tall, dark, and Superman
He puts papers in his briefcase and drives away
To save the world or go to work
It's the same thing to me
[Verse 2]
He's got his mother's eyes
His father's ambition
I wonder if he knows how much that I miss him
I hang on every word you say
[PreChorus]
And you'll smile and say, "How are you?"
And I'll say, "Just fine"
I always forget to tell you I love you
I love you forever
[Chorus]
I watch Superman fly away
You got a busy day today
Go save the world, I'll be around
And I watch Superman fly away
Come back, I'll be with you someday
I'll be right here on the ground
When you come back down
[Verse 3]
Tall, dark, and beautiful
He's complicated, he's irrational
But I hope someday he'll take me away
And save the day, yeah
Something in his deep brown eyes has me saying
He's not all bad like his reputation
And I can't hear one single word they say
[PreChorus]
And you'll leave, got places to be
And I'll be okay
I always forget to tell you I love you
I loved you from the very first day
[Chorus]
I watch Superman fly away
You've got a busy day today
Go save the world, I'll be around
And I watch Superman fly away
Come back, I'll be with you someday
I'll be right here on the ground
When you come back down
[Bridge]
And I watch you fly around the world
And I hope you don't save some other girl
Don't forget, don't forget about me
I'm far away, but I never let you go
I'm lovestruck and looking out the window
Don't forget, don't forget
Where I'll be
[PreChorus]
Right here wishing the flowers were from you
Wishing the card was from you
Wishing the call was from you
'Cause I've loved you from the very first day
[Chorus]
I watch Superman fly away
You've got a busy day today
Go save the world, I'll be around
Forever and ever
I watch Superman fly away
I swear I'll be with you someday
I'll be right here on the ground
When you come back down
[Outro]
When you come back down
