Subject: RE: Songs involving Airplanes
I remember this whimsical tune from a Laurie Bower Singers LP back in the early 70's. I also remember The Irish Rovers singing it on their TV show. I think the title is correct, but I was unable to track down the name of the composer.
I WISH I WAS A PLANE
I wish I was a plane so I could fly above the rain And leave my worries on the ground. The worries in my mind are the imaginary kind And if I was a plane they couldn't bring me down.
Maybe if I was a kite they'd never make things right I'd get so tied down with a string. Besides, they'd need a breeze so they could fly along with ease And if I was a plane I wouldn't need a thing.
Chorus ------ Above the clouds I would fly in a sky that is blue All the world will be down instead of me. Though the mountains would try they would not get as high I know they'd try to touch me but I'd be too free.
Oh the world will never see a plane as high as me My silver wings will touch the sun. I won't rest till I find a spot up in the sky A spot abover the clouds just big enough for me.
