I’m going back someday
Come what may
To Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fun
And the world is mine
On Blue Bayou
Where those fishing boats
With their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise
Through sleepy eyes
How happy I’d be
I write the script, you direct my dreams
We’re along on the beach for the passionate scene
And it’s a drag to wake up with you, saying to me
How does it feel to be back?
How does it feel to be back?
How does it feel to be back in my arms again?
In the movie of your life
They’ll get some real jerk to be you
Edited so he can act
Cast because of his TVQ
A close-up of yours
A long shot of mine
Superimposed together
I’ll zoom in on you
With a love that is true
In cinemascope forever
Movies is magic
Real life is tragic
I regret I gotta say
It is time we get away
To the movies and magic
Cowboy dressed like Injun
Popped right off that silver screen
Scarlet up like a jukebox
For a dreamboat Delta Queen
I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show,
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes,
Cause celluloid heroes never feel any pain
And celluloid heroes never really die.
Don’t they ever have to worry?
Don’t you ever wonder why?
It’s a part of me that tells you
Oh, don’t you ever, don’t ever say die
Never, never, never say die
Old heat of a raging fire
Come and light my eyes
Summer’s kiss thru electric wire
But I’ll never die
I sing the body electric
I glory in the glow of rebirth
Creating my own tomorrow
When I shall embody the Earth
Look now, look all around
There’s no sign of life
Voices, another sound
Can you hear me now?
This is planet earth
You’re looking at planet earth
Bop bop-bop, bop-bop bop bop-bop
This is planet earth
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there’s nothing I can do
The earth’s a Big Blue Marble
When you see it from out there
The sun and moon declare
Our beauty’s very rare
There is just one moon and one golden sun
And a smile means friendship to everyone
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It’s a small world after all.
I’ll wait for the ocean to rise up
And meet me, as it rose up before
(I’ll know the time…)
I’ll wait for the ocean to rise up
And greet me, as it rose up before
(I’ll know the year…)
Catch a wave and you’re sitting on top of the world
Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
Ride, ride, ride the wild surf
Gotta take that one last ride
Seems my life is not complete, I’ve never see you smile
(Try, try, try to let it ride)
Baby, you want the forgivin’ kind and that’s just not my style
(Try, try, try to let it ride)
Now I’ll remember many a day
And many a lonely mile
The echo of a piper’s song
The shadow of a smile
Who’s tripping down the streets of the city
Smilin’ at everybody she sees
Who’s reachin’ out to capture a moment
Everyone knows it’s Windy
Call me the breeze
I keep blowin’ down the road
Well now they call me the breeze
I keep blowin’ down the road
I ain’t got me nobody
I don’t carry me no load
