I was a mortal with feet on the ground,
There I was, standing with people around;
Lovely music started somewhere
And I started floating on air.


Into a dream world I floated afar,
I saw you smile as I reached for a star.
Could it happen, could it happen?
I only know here we are!


Waltzing, waltzing, high in the clouds,
Drifting, dreaming, far from the crowds.
Over a moonbeam we stroll away,
While the world below seems to roll away;


And we go waltzing, waltzing, high in the clouds,
Only you and I in the clouds.
No-one will hear when you call, my own dear one,
While waltzing high in the clouds.


Oh waltzing, waltzing, high in the clouds,
Drifting, dreaming, far from the crowds.
Over a moonbeam we stroll away,
While the world below seems to roll away;


And we go waltzing, waltzing, high in the clouds,
Only you and I in the clouds.
No-one will hear when you call, my own dear one,
While waltzing high in the clouds.
