[Verse 1]
On my way the other day a strange thing happened to me
I blinked my eye and what did I spy but a girl sitting up in a tree
[Pre-Chorus]
I said come on down cause now you're found
There's no one around and it's nice on the ground
[Chorus]
She said I like it up here cause the air is clear
There's nothing to fear and nothing to hear except
Bird singing, wind wispering, sun kissing, clouds caressing
Branches clinging to me-ee-ee
[Post-Chorus]
I said come on down out of that tree
[Verse 2]
Leaves made lace around her face peeking down at me
I wondered why she'd climb so high right up in the top of that tree
[Pre-Chorus]
I said come on down cause now you're found
And there's no one around and it's nice on the ground
[Chorus]
She said I like it up here cause the air is clear
There's nothing to fear and nothing to hear except
Bird singing, wind wispering, sun kissing, clouds caressing
Branches clinging to me-ee-ee
[Post-Chorus]
I said come on down out of that tree
[Verse 3]
Darkness fell I fell as well when I heard her sweet call to me
Right then I knew what I had to do I started climbing up in that tree
[Pre-Chorus]
And now I found I don't want to get down
I don't miss the ground while she's around
[Chorus]
We're way up here where the air is clear
There's nothing to fear and nothing to hear except
Crickets calling breeze hushing stars blinking
Moon wakin' nightingale singing and we-ee-ee
[Post-Chorus]
Have a heaven up in this treehouse in this tree
On my way the other day a strange thing happened to me
I blinked my eye and what did I spy but a girl sitting up in a tree
[Pre-Chorus]
I said come on down cause now you're found
There's no one around and it's nice on the ground
[Chorus]
She said I like it up here cause the air is clear
There's nothing to fear and nothing to hear except
Bird singing, wind wispering, sun kissing, clouds caressing
Branches clinging to me-ee-ee
[Post-Chorus]
I said come on down out of that tree
[Verse 2]
Leaves made lace around her face peeking down at me
I wondered why she'd climb so high right up in the top of that tree
[Pre-Chorus]
I said come on down cause now you're found
And there's no one around and it's nice on the ground
[Chorus]
She said I like it up here cause the air is clear
There's nothing to fear and nothing to hear except
Bird singing, wind wispering, sun kissing, clouds caressing
Branches clinging to me-ee-ee
[Post-Chorus]
I said come on down out of that tree
[Verse 3]
Darkness fell I fell as well when I heard her sweet call to me
Right then I knew what I had to do I started climbing up in that tree

And now I found I don't want to get down
I don't miss the ground while she's around
[Chorus]
We're way up here where the air is clear
There's nothing to fear and nothing to hear except
Crickets calling breeze hushing stars blinking
Moon wakin' nightingale singing and we-ee-ee
[Post-Chorus]
Have a heaven up in this treehouse in this tree
