That old kentucky moon was shinin' bright as day

The stars were twinklin' in the milky way

The pilot said if you look close there's frankfort on the right

I flew over our house last night



Thirty thousand feet below me you were fast asleep

Thirty thousand feet above i almost stopped to weep

So close and yet so far away, so wrong and yet so right

I flew over our house last night



For just one second i thought i was back in town

The man your friends all say has only brought you down

The airline hostess asked me, "sir, are you sure that you're alright?"

I flew over our house last night



Thirty thousand feet below me you were fast asleep

And thirty thousand feet above i almost stopped to weep

I wonder did you toss and turn as i roared out of sight

I flew over our house last night
