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.
