You lay by my side in the still of the night
Let morning bring forth, all that's wondrous, wondrous to light
You could have made it, made it more plain
When I hear that, hear that soft refrain
And I hear you gently sighI want to take you where flamingos fly
(Flamingos fly)
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky,
That's where flamingos flyAs we lie in the dark and hear the sweet song of the nightingale
And we listen for the lark, and I want to tell you babe, tell you a
tale
With the soft wind blowin', blowin' outside
Hey I want to take that moonlight ride
And I hear you gently sigh, babeI want to take you where flamingos fly
(Flamingos fly)
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky,
That's where flamingos flyAnd I'm silently waiting
For that morning light to shine
And I'm looking at you, lookin' at me, and I'm lookin' at you
And I'm anticipating with each and every sign
Yes, I'm lookin' at you, lookin' at me,
Lookin' at you, lookin' at me, lookin' back at youAnd I'm findin' that road
That road that will take me, take me back home to you baby
And I'll carry the load where the deer and angels roam
Where happiness touches, touches the now
I don't where it came from, I don't how, and I,
And I hear you gently sigh, babeI want to take you where flamingos fly
(Flamingos fly)
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky,
That's where flamingos flyI want to take you where flamingos fly
(Flamingos fly)
Way over yonder in the clear blue sky,
That's where flamingos fly
