You're off in outer space. I'm here on earth.
On any given day the order is reversed.
There's no denying all the sadness that's occurred.
Lower the landing gear, turn on the magic words.
Say the magic words that I'd love to hear.
Catalog the birds that are living near your house this year.
Your disappearing act, my sleight of hand.
The curtain's closing, and they're striking up the band.
No use recalling the misfortunes we've endured.
Bring down the house lights, and bring on the magic words.
Say the magic words that I'd love to hear.
Catalog the birds that are living near your house this year.
La la la la la la la, la la la la.
La la la la la la la la, la la la la.
La la la la la la la, la la la la la.
La la la la la la la, la la la la.
Say the magic words that I'd love to hear.
Catalog the birds that are living near your house...
Say the magic words that I'd love to hear.
Catalog the birds that are living near your house this year.
