"The Ballad of Lily / Airheart" Lyrics Music & Lyrics by Christopher "Bunny" Bennett Composed by David Michael Bennett & Jonathan Sprague --------------------------------------------

^EHer father fought in the great war In an ^Aaeroplane named ^EBree

He gave his love to a pretty girl

And said, ^A"Baby you're the one^E for me" And though her name was Bree, He still ^Afound it all a ^Eshock

When he found out she was an airplane,

^AThe stork began to knock

A ^Ababy girl was born With air ^Erudders on her back She ^Apicked up airwave frequencies And ^Epetrol was her favorite snack Whale she ^Abubbled noises like an airplane ^EEvery time she sang And her heart^A it loved so hungrily, And ^Eroared like a Mustang

That's why they called her

^Amaj7Air h^Eeart ^Amaj7Air h^Eeart That girl was meant to ^Dfly So ^Bmprep the run^Away ^Amaj7Air h^Eeart ^Amaj7Air h^Eeart That girl will soar awa^Dy

She was an ^Eangel in her blue dress When Little Jimmy ^AWright took her to ^Eprom

The young pilot said he loved her,

And ^Aoil began to clam her ^Epalm Whale he was lost in the sky

And they said he had died,

But ^Amaj7I know something ^Emore They only found Jimmy's goggles, In his ^Aplane upon the floor

Well years went by And she still looked to the sky,

Her ^Efeelings did not disperse She could ^Afly any plane just like an ace And kept ^Egoggles in her purse And she ^Aswore she still heard Jimmy singing, ^E"That'll Be the Way Home" ^AIt would haunt her from her radio ^EIn each sky that she would roam

Jimmy's voice echoed

^Amaj7Air h^Eeart ^Amaj7Air h^Eeart I'm sorry that I flew aw^Day

But just remember

^Amaj7Air h^Eeart ^Amaj7Air h^Eeart Keep flapping and you'll soar one ^Dday

Lets Fly! E6 A E A E A E Amaj7 E A E A E A E A

Do you wanna ^Esail into the ^Amaj7sky? ^ESoar across the ^Astars? ^ESail into the ^Asky? ^ESoar across the ^Astars? ^ESail into the ^Asky? ^ESoar across the ^Astars? The ^Bstars? The ^Cstars?! The ^Dstars!

^AThen one fateful day Ended^E with a storm streaked sky Her ^Aplane crashed into the mountain side, Was she ^Eflying much too high? They ^Aonly found Jimmy's goggles In her ^Eplane upon the floor I ^Ahope she's up there somewhere with him ^EKissing on a cloudy shore

The birds were singing

^Amaj7Airhea^Ert ^Amaj7Airhea^Ert That girl was meant to ^Dfly

So prep the runway

^Amaj7Airhea^Ert ^Amaj7Airhea^Ert That girl will soar one ^Dday

^AAir-air ^Eha ah art ^AAir-air ^Eha ah art ^AAir-air ^Eha ah art ^AAir-air ^Eha ah art ^AAir-air ^Eha ah art ^AAir-air ^Eha ah art ^AAir-air ^Eha ah art ^Amaj7Airhea^Ert!
