Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Sky in the Pool (Williams, Dunhill)
Hello there,
Years ago I was at school in the UK and this was the first song I learned. A song which I have always loved and still sing even in the shower ha !.   If you know Music, I'm going to write out the notes in A B C... in C major. If you don't know Music, get someone to decipher the letters, it's very easy. The tune is under each line.

I wish I could fly
C D   E F    G
Up and down the sky
E   G   AB   A   G
And bathe in its lovely blue
G    C+    G A    F ED C
I am sure I should know
D E F    E   F    D
How my wings would go
E    F G    FG   E
But here from the beach
E    A    G#   A    F#
It's too far to reach
C+   B    A   B   G
The clouds that are floating by
G    C+    G    A F    ED C

The C+ = an octave above middle C

I have been looking for the words of this song for ages, I was ten when I learned it and couldn't remember them all. But I remembered the tune, so I hope this helps you. Thanks for putting these words in the net, thanks for giving me the real name of this song too.
