Over the houses

The streets and the trees

Over the dogs down below
B7 Em
They'll bark at our shadows

As we float by on the breeze

Skylights and slates -

Over the hills and far away

The beach and the sea

Over the friends that we've known

Or sad

What will we have missed
C D7
This life is the best we've ever had
