Paper Airplane

I bet if I sent you a paper airplane, it would reach you in 17 days It'd fly round the world like a pretty, Red bird 'til it found you in Italy's rays The gold sun would shine on your curly Brown hair as you stroll down the rustic terrain My letter would land like a pretty, Red bird in your hand in the shape of a paper airplane Oo-oo-oo-oo-oooh-ooh-oooh-ooh Oo-oo-oo-oo-oooh-ooh-oooh-ooh I bet if I blew you a kiss in the rain, It would wash down the street in a stream It'd sail, and it'd float like a sturdy Brown boat on its way to the tumbling teal sea My kiss wouldn't drown in the deafening Sound, 'cause it'd know that it wasn't yet free A pretty, red bird would come swoop The kiss up and deliver it safely to Italy Oo-oo-oo-oo-oooh-ooh-oooh-ooh Oo-oo-oo-oo-oooh-ooh-oooh-ooh I bet if you opened a paper Airplane that was sent from 5,000 miles west You'd wonder why there was a kiss on The page and why it was particularly wet My scribbles of cursive and lyrical Words would ensure that you couldn't forget How much I miss you and your curly brown Hair as you stroll through a cobblestone sunset Oo-oo-oo-oo-oooh-ooh-oooh-ooh Oo-oo-oo-oo-oooh-ooh-oooh-ooh Oo-oo-oo-oo-oooh-ooh-oooh-ooh-ooh Oo-oo-oo-oo-oooh-ooh-oooh-ooh-ooh I bet if I sent you a paper airplane, it would reach you in 17 days
