Lyrics
Just seventeen, the handmaiden to The Queen
Was out strolling though the gardens of Tudor
Daydreaming now, she performs a royal bow
She is dancing at the ball with her suitor
She's twirling higher, higher, higher in the air
She's twirling higher, higher, higher lady fair
A lowly Squire is her object of desire, and she
Hopes that he will spy on her dancing
Handsome and bold, if the truth were to be told
He will be a knight one day, she must fancy
He'll take her higher, higher, higher in the air
He'll take her higher, higher, higher lady fair
Caught in her dreams, the young squire so it seems
Has arrived upon the scene with a stallion
A winged steed they both mount him as he kneels
All at once the three take wing like a falcon
They're soaring higher, higher, higher in the air
They're soaring higher, higher, higher Lady Fair
They're soaring higher, higher, higher than the trees
They're soaring higher, higher, higher than the clouds
They're soaring higher, higher, higher than the moon
They're soaring higher, higher, higher than the stars
