Looking High, High, High

I once had a love and oh
I loved her very dearly
She told me she loved me so
I thought she spoke sincerely
But one day, awayI found that she had flown
And off to find that love of mine
I set alone
Looking high, high, high, looking low, low, lowWondering why, why, why did she go, go, go?
For if I, I, I don't find my love, I know
I shall die, die, die, 'cause I love her so
I journeyed across the seaI sought her with devotion
Oh, where she could really be?
I've not the slightest notion
But so bright the lightOf love within me shone
I knew full well, what e'er befell
I must go on
Looking high, high, high, looking low, low, lowWondering why, why, why did she go, go, go?
For if I, I, I don't find my love, I know
I shall die, die, die 'cause I love her so
Due east over desert sandsDue west where grass is greener
I asked in a dozen lands
But none had ever seen her
It was clear, I fearMy quest was all in vain
So I departed, sad at heart
For home again
Looking high, high, high, looking low, low, low
Wondering why, why, why did she go, go, go?For if I, I, I don't find my love, I know
I shall die, die, die 'cause I love her so
But when I arrived, all brown
And tanned by wind and weatherYou sure could have knocked me down
With the proverbial feather
She stood there, so fair
And sweetly she confessed
That she'd been wrong and all along
She'd loved me bestI'd looked high, high, high, I'd looked low, low, low
Wondering why, why, why did she go, go, go?
Now that I, I, I have found my love, I know
Till I die, die, die, I will love her soFor if I, I, I don't find my love, I know
I shall die, die, die 'cause I love her so
(Looking high, high, high)
