That old Kentucky moon was shining bright as day The stars were all alive in the Milky Way The pilot said, 'If you look close, there's Frankfurt on the right' I flew over our house last night
Thirty thousand feet below me, you were fast asleep Thirty thousand feet above I almost stopped to weep So close and yet so far away, so wrong and yet so right I flew over our house last night
Just for one moment I felt I was back in town The man your friends all say has only brought you down The airline hostess asked me, 'Sir, are you sure you're alright?' I flew over our house last night
Thirty thousand feet below me, you were fast asleep And thirty thousand feet above I almost stopped to weep I wonder did you toss and turn as I roared out of sight I flew over our house last night
