I've never seen your eyes so wide 
I've never seen your appetite quite this occupied 
Elsewhere is your feast of love 
I know where long ago we agreed to keep it light 
So lets be married one more night 
It's light, light enough 
To let it go 
It's light enough to let it go 

Remember when the scenery started fading 
I held you til you learned to walk on air 
So don't look down the ground is gone, 
there's no one waiting anyway 
The Smoky Life is practiced 
Everywhere 

So set your restless heart at ease 
Take a lesson from these Autumn leaves 
They waste no time waiting for the snow 
Don't argue now you'll be late 
There is nothing to investigate 

It's light enough, light enough 
To let it go 
Light enough to let it go 

Remember when the scenery started fading 
I held you til you learned to walk on air 
So don't look down the ground is gone, 
there's no one waiting anyway 
The Smoky Life is practiced everywhere 

Come on back if the moment lends 
You can look up all my very closest friends 

Light, light enough 
To let it go 
It's light enough to let it go
