My heart is higher than a hawk
My love is deeper than a well
I'm thinkin' in a little while
My love and I'll be doin' very well
An owl is givin' me the eye
The wind is blowin' me a kiss
I wouldn't be at all surprised
If I were only dreamin' all of this
And when I strut about like a Sunny Jim
Dressed in yeller and red
Folks'll shout, "Take a look at him!
He's tetched in the head!"
I said that I would never fall
I laughed at others when they fell
And here I'm falling, higher than a hawk
And deeper than a well
And when we're all rigged out like a birthday cake
Eyes'll pop everywhere.
Folks'll shout, "Don't you think
They make a wonderful pair?"
I said that I would never fall
But if you promise not to tell
My love for you is higher than a hawk
And deeper than a well
