Higher Than A Hawk

Higher Than A Hawk - Howard Keel/Betty Hutton

My heart is higher than a hawk

My love is deeper than a well

I'm thinkin' in a little while

My love and I'll be doin' very well

An owl is givin' me the eye

Wind is blowin' me a kiss

I wouldn't be at all surprised

If I were only dreamin' all of this

And when I strut about like a Sunny Jim

Dressed in yeller and red

Folks'll shout

Take a look at him

He's tetched in the head

I said that I would never fall

I laughed at others when they fell

And here I'm falling

Higher than a hawk

And deeper than a well

And when we're all rigged out

Like a birthday cake

Eyes'll pop everywhere

Folks'll shout

Don't you think

They make a wonderful pair

I said that I would never fall

But if you promise not to tell

My love for you

Is higher than a hawk

And deeper than a well
