^CThat old Kentucky moon was shining ^Fbright as day The ^G7stars were twinkling in the ^Fmilky ^Cway The pilot said if you look close ^Fthere's Frankfort on the right ^G7I flew over our house last ^Cnight

^FThirty thousand feet below me ^Cyou were fast asleep ^FAnd thirty thousand feet above ^CI almost stopped to ^G7weep ^CSo close and yet so far away ^Fso wrong and yet so right ^G7I flew over our house last ^Cnight

For just one second I thought I ^Fwas back in town The ^G7man your friends all say has ^Fonly brought you ^Cdown The airline hostess asked me sir ^Fare you sure that you're alright ^G7I flew over our house last ^Cnight
