    "In the Blue Painted Blue"

    I think that such a dream will not return again
    and it painted my hands and face blue
    and suddenly the wind carried me off
    and I began to fly in the infinite sky.

    To fly oh oh
    To sing oh oh oh oh
    In the blue painted blue
    happy to be up there

    and I flew and I flew
    happy, higher than the sun
    and higher still
    while the world slow, slowly disappeared down there
    a sweet music played just for me

    But all dreams at dawn vanish because
    When the sun sets, the moon takes them with it
    But I continue to dream in your beautiful blue eyes
    That are blue like a star-dotted sky

    To fly
    To sing
    In the blue of your eyes
    Happy to be down here

    And I continue to fly happy
    Higher than the sun and higher still
    While the world slow, slowly disappears
    In your blue eyes
    Your voice is a sweet music that plays for me.
    . . .
    Happy to be down here with you.
