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
Haven't you heard the music of the night
Wonderful music, faint as the 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
