LOOK OUT UP THERE
(Milt Raskin / Pete Rugolo)

as recorded by June Christy
with orchestra conducted by Pete Rugolo
1958


I used to walk around this solid earth,
Alone in every passing crowd.
I took a look at you;
Look out up there,
I'm flyin' high as a cloud!

I used to mope around, life had no worth,
But now I want to sing out loud.
What else am I to do?
Look out up there,
I'm flyin' high as a cloud!

I'm sailin' like an arrow,
Way up in the air,
And like a sparrow,
I'm twittin' all over.
Just like a bee I'm buzzin', I haven't a care,
Just a goner walkin' in clover!

I'm never comin' back from outer space,
I'm overwhelmed and simply wowed.
Your kiss was somethin' new,
What can I do?
I love you more than is allowed.
Look out up there,
I'm flyin' high as a cloud!

I took a look at you.
Look out up there,
I'm flyin' high as a cloud!

What else am I to do?
Look out up there,
I'm flyin' high as a cloud!

I'm sailin' like an arrow,
Way up in the air,
And like a sparrow,
I'm twittin' all over.
Just like a bee I'm buzzin', I haven't a care,
Just a goner walkin' in clover!

I'm never comin' back from outer space,
I'm overwhelmed and simply wowed.
Your kiss was somethin' new,
What can I do?
I love you more than is allowed.
Look out up there,
I'm flyin' high as a cloud!
