[Verse 1:]
That old Kentucky moon was shinin' bright as day
The stars were twinklin' in the Milky Way
The pilot said, "If you look close, there's Frankfurt on the right"
I flew over our house last night

[Chorus:]
Thirty thousand feet below me, you were fast asleep
Thirty thousand feet above I almost stopped to weep
So close and yet so far away, so wrong and yet so right
I flew over our house last night

[Verse 2:]
For just one second I thought I was back in town
The man your friends all say has only brought you down
The airline hostess asked me, "Sir, are you sure that you're alright?"
I flew over our house last night

[Chorus]
