Cast your eyes on that horizon
And I'll show you something grand
I'm delighted, so excited
That's my ship about to land
I'm sailing along on a carpet of clouds
Just like a kite on a string
I'm dancing in clover way over the crowd
Life is a wonderful thing
The World is mine, including Heaven as well
You couldn't buy it 'cause I wouldn't sell
I'm sailing along on a carpet of clouds
Having a marvellous time
