Lyrics

[Verse 1] On my way the other day a strange thing happened to me I blinked my eye and what did I spy but a girl sitting up in a tree [Pre-Chorus] I said come on down cause now you're found There's no one around and it's nice on the ground [Chorus] She said I like it up here cause the air is clear There's nothing to fear and nothing to hear except Bird singing, wind wispering, sun kissing, clouds caressing Branches clinging to me-ee-ee [Post-Chorus] I said come on down out of that tree [Verse 2] Leaves made lace around her face peeking down at me I wondered why she'd climb so high right up in the top of that tree [Pre-Chorus] I said come on down cause now you're found And there's no one around and it's nice on the ground [Chorus] She said I like it up here cause the air is clear There's nothing to fear and nothing to hear except Bird singing, wind wispering, sun kissing, clouds caressing Branches clinging to me-ee-ee [Post-Chorus] I said come on down out of that tree [Verse 3] Darkness fell I fell as well when I heard her sweet call to me Right then I knew what I had to do I started climbing up in that tree [Pre-Chorus] And now I found I don't want to get down I don't miss the ground while she's around [Chorus] We're way up here where the air is clear There's nothing to fear and nothing to hear except Crickets calling breeze hushing stars blinking Moon wakin' nightingale singing and we-ee-ee [Post-Chorus] Have a heaven up in this treehouse in this tree
