Clear blue sky   Looking through my father's eyes   Way up high   A diamond made of nylon flies      Out of a fishing reel   the string is drawn   fishing for dreams up there   and songs      That's why I'm laughing      Last time I held this line   the pull was strong   could it be that much time   has gone?      Chorus      That's why I'm laughing   That's why I'm laughing   That's why I'm laughing.....now      Years gone by   Looking at my father smile   Way up high   The kite he made could really fly      Quick as a box-kite wind   The time can be   Leaving the kite he made   For me      That's why I'm laughing      'Cause even with all this change   And time between   You can be here, so clear   With me      Chorus      Feeling the pull so strong   And far away   Knowing that dreams still fly   Today
