CABIN IN THE SKY
(Johnny Burke / Edgar Leslie)

Fats Waller - 1936


In the cabin high in the sky
It was the cabin of a passenger plane
And I was dreaming of a castle in Spain
When I laid eyes on you

In the cabin high in the sky
The day was cloudy, there was rain in the air
And as you sat there in the opposite chair, oh baby
Your sunny smile came through

There was an invitation in the note you gave me
I couldn't very well refuse
And from the moment that you started to enslave me
I had everything to win, nothin' to lose

In the cabin high in the sky
'Twas like a dream house in the heavenly glow
I saw an angel and I let myself go
I fell in love with you
