"Skylark
Have you anything to say to me?
Won't you tell me where my love can be?
Is there a meadow in the mist
Where someone's waiting to be kissed?

Skylark
Have you seen a valley green with spring?
Where my heart can go a journeying
Over the shadows and the rain
To a blossom covered lane

And in your lonely flight
Haven't you heard the music of the night?
Wonderful music
Faint as a will o' the wisp
Crazy as a loon
Sad as a gypsy serenading the moon

Skylark
I don't know if you can find these things
But my heart is riding on your wings
So if you see them anywhere
Won't you lead me there

(Orchestral Interlude)

And in your lonely flight
Haven't you heard the music in the night?
Wonderful music
Faint as a will o' the wisp
Crazy as a loon
Sad as a gypsy serenading the moon

Oh, Skylark
I don't know if you can find these things
But my heart is riding on your wings
So if you see them anywhere
Won't you lead me there."

Johnny Swanko · Answer

Nelson Riddle Orchestra with Linda Ronstadt singing "Skylark" is really a nice song. This particular one came from the CD called "Round Midnight". The orchestra is really pretty. I recommend it. I tried to find it on YouTube for you but was not successful. Hope you can find a sample of it. Maybe iTunes? I looked up the album on Amazon and found the sample.
