Skywriter
Sweep your silver pen,
Across the sky so high

Skywriter
Won’t you write the biggest
I love you
Cross the sky

She don’t read the letters
I write anymore
Sorry I upset her
But I wasn’t sure
Now I know I love her
I hope that she will see
A message high above her
That you write for me, yeah.

Hey hey
Send a box of cande
And flowers every day
Still she wouldn’t listen
Her pride got in the way

Now it’s up to you
It won’t fade away
Write it on the heavens
Love will make it stay, yeah

Produced by Sherlie Matthews & Deke Richards
Arranged by James Anthony Carmichael & Gene Page

From The Broadway Musical Pippin
Classé n°9 au Hit R&B et n°18 au Hit Pop aux USA.

Les Paroles :

Everithing has its season
Everithing has its time
Show me a reason and i'll soon show you a rhyme
Cats fit on the windosill
Children fit in the snow
Why do I feel I don't fit in anywhere I go ?

Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly
I've got to be where my spirits can run free
Got to find my corner of the sky

Every man has his daydreams
Every man has his goals
People like the way dreams have of sticking to the soul
Thundeclouds have their lightning
Nightingales have their song
And don't you see I want my life to be something more than long

Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly
I've got to be where my spirits can run free
Got to find my corner of the sky

So many men seem destined
To settle for something small
But I won't rest until I know I'll have it all
So don't ask where I'm going
Just listen when I'm gone
And far away you'll hear me singing softly to the dawn :

Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly
I've got to be where my spirits can run free
Got to find my corner of the sky

Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly
I've got to be where my spirits can run free
Got to find my corner of the sky


I've got to be where my spirits can run free
Got to find my corner of the sky...

I've got to be where my spirits can run free
Got to find my corner of the sky...

The love was standing on is shakey ground
There ain't no way on earth to hold you down
And every road I take to you instead oh losing ooh yea ha

Where I won't be reaching for you night and day
Where there's no windows ain't no doors
to let your love in ooh I, I

(Chorus)
I can't quit your love, ooh yea
No matter how hard I try to
I can't quit your love, no I can't
I keep running back to you
You know I can't quit your love ooh yeah!

You snap your fingers and I feel on fire
Like silly spinning wheels of desire
You have to be a bird with wings to get me higher

The minor things for me has lose control
The weakness of my judgement rules my soul
You know you got each claim in me after the wire ooh!

It's feels alright, the grass is high, Live your life, before it passes by
Travel the road of the country side, From city to city we're talking a ride

World of sunshine, world of sunshine, Come with me there's so much to see

There people to meet, And places you should be
When you get tired, you can always find, A mile to rest carry a sign
World of sunshine, bright shades of gold, It's time to be happy for the young and old
Travel the road of the country side, From city to city we're talking a ride
World of sunshine, bright shades of gold, It's time to be happy for the young and old.

You turn my work into play
It's just one big holiday
Baby having so much fun
Ooh, there's nothin' we'll leave undone
Just me and you

You're heaven on earth for me
Oh, no other address could there be
There's no other place for me
Than with you (you baby)
My whole life through

Les paroles :

On the ground, watched me fly
To the top, thanks a lot
You made me what I am today,  You made me what I am today,
You knew the win, but still you let me

You stuck with me through thinck ans thin
You took my hand, and then you showed me
The opportunity at the end
You pushed me right up to the top

You made me what I am today,  You made me what I am today,
Fame and fortune, can't change my name
That's not the life I want to lead no no
Success has helped me, make friends that left me

And a friend in need, is a friendly deed
I know who my friends are, I know who you are
You made me what I am today,  You made me what I am today,
Testify, come on testify, testify, testify, come on testify

The room was dark, when I said I do look for love
And you let the light shine through the sky above
And you made it all come true (woa testify)

It was you, thank you love, thank you baby, thank you love, thank you baby
You made me what I am today,  You made me what I am today,

On the ground, watched me fly
To the top, thanks a lot
You made me what I am today,  You made me what I am today
