I fell down, down, down into this dark and lonely hole.
There was no one there to care about me anymore.
And I needed a way to climb and grab a hold.
On the edge you were sitting there holding a rope
And we'll go up, up, up
But I'll fly a little higher.
Go up in the clouds because the view's a little nicer.
Up here, my dear, it won't be long now,
It won't be long now.
When we get back on land but I'll never get my chance.
Be ready to live and it'll be ripped right out of my hands.
And maybe some day we'll take a little ride,
Go up, up, up and everything will be just fine
We'll go up, up, up
But I'll fly a little higher.
Go up in the clouds because the view's a little nicer.
Up here, my dear, it won't be long now,
It won't be long now.
If only I had a little bit more time.
If only I had a little bit more time with you
We could go up, up, up and then take that little ride
We'll sit there holding hands
And everything will be just right
And maybe someday I'll see you again
We'll float up in the clouds
And we'll never see the end
We'll go up, up, up but I'll fly a little higher.
Go up in the clouds because the view's a little nicer.
Up here, my dear, it won't be long now,
It won't be long now.
