Requested
Words by Ned Washington
A Mickey McBride Arrangement
Refrain
I WAS HIGH AND MIGHTY,
HOW I LAUGHED AT LOVE
AND THE STARS ABOVE,
THEN YOU CAME
LIKE A GENTLE FLAME
AND HELPED ME TO FIND MY WAY!
I WAS HIGH AND MIGHTY,
AND I TOLD MY HEART
WHERE TO STOP AND START,
NOW I FIND
THAT I WAS BLIND,
I'M LEARNING IT DAY BY DAY!
LOVE CAN CHANGE THINGS,
REARRANGE THINGS,
OH, WHAT STRANGE THINGS
LOVE CAN DO!
First Ending
I'M NOT HIGH AND MIGHTY,
BUT I HAVE WHAT'S WORTH
ALL THE GOLD ON EARTH,
I HAVE YOU AND I GIVE MY HEART
FOREVER AND EVER TO YOU!
(Repeat Refrain)
Second Ending
I'M NOT HIGH AND MIGHTY,
BUT I HAVE WHAT'S WORTH
ALL THE GOLD ON EARTH,
I HAVE YOU AND I GIVE MY HEART
FOREVER AND EVER TO YOU, YOU, YOU!
