Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
You’re clear out of this world
When I’m looking at you
I hear out of this world
The music that no mortal ever knew
You’re right out of a book
The fairy tale I read when I was so high
No armored knight out of a book
Was more enchanted Lorelei than I
After waiting so long for the right time
After reaching so long for a star
All at once from the long and lonely night time,
And despite time, here you are
I’d cry out of this world
If you said we were through
So, let me fly out of this world
And spend the next eternity or two with you
You’re clear out of this world
When I’m looking at you
I hear out of this world
The music that no mortal ever knew
You’re right out of a book
The fairy tale I read when I was so high
No armored knight out of a book
Could find a more enchanted Lorelei than I
After waiting so long for the right time
After reaching so long for a star
All at once from the long and lonely night time,
And despite time, here you are
I’d cry out of this world
If you said we were through
So, let me fly out of this world
And spend the next eternity or two with you
