lyrics

Ain’t it just grand that the two of us,
while busy making our plans,
for our wildly unpredictable lives,
that God is just laughing, and then he sighs,
a deep and heavenly sigh.

And I’m sitting on a cloud looking down,
Wondering what it all means, if it means anything at all,
I can’t tell now, but if there’s anyone it’s me who knows,
There are some things you can’t figure out,
At least for now, I’m not afraid to ask
If the smudges on the glass are a sign,
From up above, that we’re better off getting back to making our plans.
