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 Of 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, well, I'll never get my chance I'll be ready to live and it'll be ripped right out of my hands And maybe someday, we'll take a little ride We'll go up, up, up and everything will be just fine 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 Oh, if only I had a little bit more time with you We'll go up, up, up and 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 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
