Traditional
The Lark in the Clear Air
[Verse 1]
Dear thoughts are in my mind
And my soul soars enchanted
As I hear the sweet lark sing
In the clear air of the day
For a tender beaming smile
For my hope has been granted
And tomorrow he shall hear
All my fond heart would say

[Verse 2]
I shall tell him all my love
All my soul's adoration
And I think he will hear me
And will not say me nay
It is this that gives my soul
All its joyous elation
As I hear the sweet lark sing
In the clear air of the day

[Verse 3]
And when my love does answer true
Tell him of his own heart's secret
And speaking all those words of love
That I long to hear him say
And our two hearts joined as one
Will for certain be well met
As we hear the sweet lark sing
In the clear air of the day
[Instrumental Bridge]

[Outro]
Dear thoughts are in my mind
And my soul soars enchanted
As I hear the sweet lark sing
In the clear air of the day
