Lie by my side in the still of the night
And morning brings forth all its wondrous delight
You couldn't have made it more plain
When I hear that soft refrain and I hear you gently sighI wanna take you where flamingos fly, flamingos fly
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky
That's where flamingos flyLie in the dark with the sweet sound of the nightingale
And listen for lark and I will tell you a tale
Soft winds blowin', blowin' outside
I wanna take that moonlight ride, when I hear you gently sighI wanna take you where flamingos fly, flamingos fly
Way over yonder, yeah in the clear blue sky
That's where flamingos flySilently waiting for that morning light to shine
Yeah, and I'm looking at you, looking at me
And I'm looking at you and anticipating
Each and every, each and every signAnd I'm looking at you, looking at me
And I'm looking at you, looking at me
Looking at you, looking at me, looking at youI follow the road that will take me, take me back home
And carry that load where the deer and the provincial angels roam
Your happiness touching me now
Who knows where it came from and how, but
When I hear you gently sighI wanna, wanna take you where flamingos fly, flamingos fly
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky
That's where flamingos fly, flamingos flyWay over yonder in the clear blue sky
That's where flamingos fly, you see those flamingos fly
Ya see those, ya see those, ya see those
Ya see those, ya see those, ya see those flamingos flyLook over yonder, look over yonder, darling
Look over yonder, darling
Ya take it by the ocean, ya take it, ya take it by the ocean
