Lyrics

Flying Kites

There once was a girl I used to know
in the old neighborhood
a long time ago
Innocent, the price we paid
in the dog days of summer
fading to gray

Goodbye blue skies and fairytales
So long Lorraine

There's a place we used to go
down the road, through the cornfield
in the tree row
Hide away in our own little world
in our make believe house
Just a boy and a girl

Goodbye blue skies and fairytales
So long Lorraine
Chasing fireflies
When will I see you again

You were the first
You were the first
You were the first
but you won't be the last
and I hope you'll remember
I hope you'll remember
Flying Kites

Call me anytime
I'll send you a postcard from California
I'll be back someday
Goin’ to play my guitar
Gonna be a big star

You said I can do anything
So long Lorraine
Time keeps ticking my friend
Will I see you again

You were the first
You were the first
You were the first
but you won't be the last
and I hope you'll remember
I hope you'll remember
Flying Kites

There once was a girl I used to know
in the dog days of summer
a long time ago

Goodbye blue skies and fairytales
So long Lorraine
Chasing fireflies
I hope you're happy my friend
