I've never seen your eyes so wide
I've never seen your appetite quite this occupied
Elsewhere is your feast of love
I know, where long ago we agreed to keep it light
So let's be married one more night
It's light, light enough
To let it go
ย
It's light enough to let it go
ย
Remember when the scenery started fading
ย
I held you 'til you learned to walk on air
ย
So don't look down, the ground is gone
There's no one waiting anyway
The smokey life is practiced everywhere
ย
So set your restless heart at ease
Take a lesson from these autumn leaves
They waste no time waiting for the snow
ย
Don't argue now, you'll be late
There is nothing to investigate
It's light enough, light enough
To let it go
ย
Light enough to let it go
Remember when the scenery started fading
ย
I held you 'til you learned to walk on air
ย
So don't look down, the ground is gone
There's no one waiting anyway
The smokey life is practiced everywhere
ย
Come on back if the moment lends
You can look upon my very closest friends
Light, light enough
To let it go
ย
It's light, light enough to let it go
ย
