Lyrics

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 and the rain
To a blossom covered lane
And in your lonely flight
Oh, 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
Skylark
Oh, I don't know if you can find these things
Oh, but my heart, my heart is riding on your wings
So if you see them anywhere
Won't you lead me there?
Written by: Hoagy Carmichael, Johnny Mercer
