Higher Than A Hawk (Deeper Than A Well) Composer(s): Sammy Fain; Paul Francis Webster Performer(s): Howard Keel; Doris Day; Jason Howard
My heart is higher than a hawk my love is deeper than a well I'm thinkin' in a little while My love and I'll be doin' very well
An owl is givin' me the eye The wind is blowin' me a kiss I wouldn't be at all surprised If I were only dreamin' all of this
And when I strut about like a Sunny Jim Dressed in yeller and red Folks'll shout, "Take a look at him! He's tetched in the head!"
I said that I would never fall I laughed at others when they fell And here I'm falling, higher than a hawk And deeper than a well
And when we're all rigged out like a birthday cake Eyes'll pop everywhere Folks'll shout, "Don't you think they make a wonderful pair?"
I said that I would never fall But if you promise not to tell My love for you is higher than a hawk And deeper than a well
