Lyrics:

My heart is higher than a hawk,
My love is deeper than a well,
I'm thinkin' in a little while, my love an' 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 pitched 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.
