Tall, dark, and superman

He puts papers in his briefcase and drives away

To save the world or go to work

It's the same thing to me

He's got his mother's eyes, his father's ambition

I wonder if he knows how much that I miss him

I hang on every word you say, yay

And you smile and say, "How are you?”

I say, "Just fine"

I always forget to tell you, I love you

I love you forever

[Chorus]

I watch superman fly away

You've got a busy day today

Go save the world, I'll be around

And I watch superman fly away

Come back, I'll be with you someday

I'll be right here on the ground

When you come back down

[Verse 2]

Tall, dark and beautiful

He's complicated, he's irrational

But I hope someday you'll take me away and save the day, yeah

Something in his deep brown eyes has me sayin'

He's not all bad like his reputation

And I can't hear one single word they say

And you'll leave, got places to be and I'll be okay

I always forget to tell you I love you

I loved you from the very first day

[Chorus]

I watch superman fly away

You've got a busy day today

Go save the world, I'll be around

I watch superman fly away

Come back, I'll be with you someday

I'll be right here on the ground

When you come back down

[Bridge]

And I watch you fly around the world

And I hope you don't save some other girl

Don't forget, don't forget about me

I'm far away, but I never let you go

I'm love-struck and looking out the window

Don't forget, don't forget where I'll be

Right here, wishing the flowers were from you

Wishing the card was from you

Wishing the call was from you

'Cause I loved you from the very first day

[Chorus]

I watch superman fly away

You've got a busy day today

Go save the world, I'll be around

Forever and ever here

I watch superman fly away

I swear, I'll be with you someday

I'll be right here on the ground

When you come back down

[Outro]

La, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la

When you come back down
