Lyrics:
Once upon a time in a far away land
There lived a girl and her old man
They sang and they drummed 
And whistled and hummed
And then he ran off with the band

And he flew through the daytime
And he rocked through the night
And he poured his heart out
Underneath the spotlight

Then one day he came home 
And his girl was all grown
And she’d written some words 
And a tune of her own
And she told her old man and hoped he’d understand 
And then she ran off with the band

And she flew through the daytime 
And she rocked through the night
And she poured her heart out
Underneath the spotlight

And the years drifted them by 
Like clouds in the sky
And the little girl who never imagined he’d die
She made her way home and found him alone
With the light going down in his eyes 

Then she held his hand and she thanked her old man
As she watched him turn into starlight

And they flew through the daytime 
And they rocked through the night
And they poured out their hearts
Underneath the spotlight
