Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Way up in the sky

Over the city, over Tokyo

Silver light, summer moon

You'll be over somebody's winter, this afternoon

[Verse 2]

While the dolphins swim in the sea

You're going grey, my baby

Still the war is waging endlessly

Day after day, day after day

[Verse 3]

Way up in the sky

Over the city and Lake Erie

You remember the flats, you were there

Out every night, Mr. Moonlight

[Verse 4]

'Round and 'round and 'round we go

Just like yesterday

[Verse 5]

Way up in the sky

Over the city where you sleep tonight

The light outside your window blinks

Hotel, hotel, hotel

Open the blind and dream in a moonbeam

[Verse 6]

When the war's finally over, we'll meet again

And pick up where we left off
