So you held me in your arms
I felt your skin
I looked at you and I saw your tears
You were crying with me
And you gave me love, love for a little E. T. who was born

I'd never seen the world before
But I was learning everyday more
Underneath your wing
Louder, I can sing
I believe I can fly

You and I
We're like two swallows in the sky
Your smile is my light
When you're happy is like an earthquake in me
Our love is as deep as a lake
If I could, I would bring the sun or the sunshine
We're like two swallows in the sky

So you held me in your arms
I felt your skin
I looked at you and I saw your tears
You were crying with me
And you gave me love, love for a little E. T. who was born

I'd never seen the world before
But I was learning, with you, everyday more
Underneath your wing
Louder, I can sing
I believe I can fly

You and I
We're like two swallows in the sky
Your smile is my light
When you're happy is like an earthquake in me
Our love is as deep as a lake
If I could, I would bring the sun or the sunshine
We're like two swallows in the sky

So you said "Go with God. This sky is yours
Fly away, because here I'll stay"
Then you kissed me and said goodbye
You flew to the left, I flew to the right
I lost my light
I lost my mind
I lost my way
I lost you

(Mom, we're like two swallows in the sky. You can believe not, but it's true. I love you, mom. Forever and ever.)

You and I
We're like two swallows in the sky
Your smile is my light
When you're happy is like an earthquake in me
Our love is as deep as a lake
If I could, I would bring the sun or the sunshine
We're like two
We're like two
We're like two
Swallows in the sky
Swallows in the sky

Suddenly, she smiled at me
