I remember when I last saw him
He was leaning over the edge
He turned to me, his face was shining in the sun
And he said
How do we know when it’s the end of the line
On our way back home
We sailed the sky
He put my hand into his own
I’ll show you how to fly higher
He wiped a tear from my eye and he said
You’re the diamond in my sky
We took a left turn at the first moon
Took a right beside the sun
A dimpled cheek and a twinkle in his eye
And he said
A pretty woman on the run well, what could be more fun
On our way back home
We sailed the sky
He put my hand into his own
I’ll show you how to fly higher
On our way back home
We sailed the sky
He put my hand into his own
I’ll show you how to fly higher and higher
Oh you are the diamond in my sky
An I’ll show you how to fly
Higher and higher
He wiped a tear from my eye and he said
You’re mine
