I will walk looking up, looking up
So that the tears will not fall from my eyes
Remembering May,
Happy and bright.
It’s only me down here tonight.
I will walk looking up, looking up
Counting the stars as they blur in the skies
Remembering day:
June at its height.
It’s only me down here tonight.
Happiness it lies out beyond the clouds
Out beyond the skies is where gladness is found
I will walk looking up, looking up
So that the tears will not fall from my eyes
Although they do well up, all right:
It’s only me down here tonight.
…
September it stays
And then takes flight:
It’s only me down here tonight.
Light from moon and stars casting shade on the ground
Hides too many sorrows where they look down
I will walk looking up, looking up
So that the tears will not fall from my eyes
Although they do well up, all right
It’s only me down here tonight
