Copter Over My Roof

Song, Copter Over My Roof, to be sung to the tune
of 'Bridge Over Troubled Waters', Simon And Garfunkel


I see eeriness                                                                                         Written on your face
Those fears have gotten you down
Cast them all away
They cannot stay
Yes, you've had enough
And too few understand


There's a copter over your rooftop
It will lift you up
There's a copter over your rooftop
It will lift you up


It seems all hope is gone
And you are left to fight alone
No light at the end of your tunnel
Love is there to embrace you
Love will hold you tight
When the sun hides itself
Or shadows are all you see


There's a copter over your rooftop
It will lift you up
There's a copter over your rooftop
it will lift you up


Come on golden boy
Take to the sky
Life has not passed you by
Dry the tears from your eyes
Grey clouds are lifting
Let love fly you away
Hope is alive and well


There's a copter over your rooftop
It will lift you up
There's a copter over your rooftop
It will lift you up
