Surround yourself with flowers
Said the teacher to the clown
Make yourself invincible
Build your castle on high ground
Thank the day for staying long
Kiss the wind that blows
Take a stock of what you're doing
And heaven only knows
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows
If all the creatures great and small
Were gathered in one place
We could all strike up the band
And we would win the race
Let your hair down, kick your shoes off
Get the sand between your toes
Let the sun blast through your window
And heaven only knows
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows
Laughing loud and dancing
Watch your shadows growing taller
Bless the magpies when in pairs
Will your troubles then get smaller
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows
Only heaven knows, only heaven knows
