Skylark Lyrics

Dun dun dun
Dun dun dun dun
Dun dun dun
Dun dun dun dun
Dun dun dun
Dun dun dun dun
Dun dun dun
Dun dun dun dun

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 ajourneying
Over the shadows and the rain
To a blossom-covered lane

And in your lonely flight
Haven't you heard the music in the night
It's wonderful music
Faint as the will of the wisp
Crazy as a loon
Sad as a gypsy serenading the moon
Oh, skylark
I don't know if you can find thesе things
But my heart is riding on your wings
So, if you see them anywherе
Won't you lead me there

And in your lonely flight
Haven't you heard the music in the night
It's wonderful music
Faint as the will of 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

Love-e da-de da-da da-da
Na na na na nada nei di di di di
Da da da dat dat dun
Lalalu la lalalu lei lilee
Le du-de nene nenanana na na nei
Lalula lei dide
Dun dun
Dun dun dun
Dun dun dun dun
Dun dun dun
Dun dun dun dun
Dun dun dun
Dun dun dun dun
Dun dun dun
Dun dun dun dun
