Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
It`s four o`clock And the bells are ringing The sun is in the sky I hear the song That the breeze is bringing I smile and close my eyes Slowly drifting Deeper and deeper inside I hear your voice Whispering softly We`re leaving the world outside * Just hold my hand And we`ll go skyscraping So high you and I If your mama asks you Say we`re just escaping We`re gonna be sky high Time flies But I don`t know where it`s going You vanish in the haze Sometimes I wish that life Could be everlasting These are our Polaroid days Slowly melting The sun slips from the sky I see your face But it`s fading quickly We`re leaving the world behind (* repeat 3 times) We`re gonna be sky high You and me, so high It`s gonna be all right
