I picked up the piano for nine years
and then I learned it’s better to travel light
Words weigh less than your soul
and you can only write well, as long as you stay, lighter than air
Baggage, will weigh you down
until you are buried underground
Women have a lot of baggage
unless she’s a witch, and carries a broom
either way, I have stayed away
I keep my eyes open for one woman
who is lighter than air
She visits me, in my imagination
I don’t care.
A real woman can weigh a ton
Because, there’s all kinds of baggage
there
that will suffocate
your soul.
I can’t blame single women, though
I am a single man
and I know what each of us is thinking…
Why hasn’t someone snatched me up?
Probably, because we’re too heavy
I have a piano in my trunk
and you are dealing with all those boyfriends in your brain
What makes a man a man? He must be—
lighter than air.
What makes a woman a woman?
You will know her, in your dreams
when you wake up, beside her
and thank God, for the angel there—
lighter than air.
Delightful!

No better feeling than traveling light. If you have to carry a lot tie Balloons to the heavy stuff so it floats 🙂 Like the house in UP

Yes, LiziRose, and by the way… I love the soundtrack for UP. Balloons are a great idea! So much is possible when you are a kid–it’s best to always hold onto that part of yourself.
