Who Am I — Petula Clark

The buildings reach up to the sky The traffic thunders on the busy street Pavement slips beneath my feet I walk alone and wonder Who am I?

I close my eyes and I can fly And I escape from all this worldly strife Restricted by routine of life But still, I can't discover who am I

I long to wake up in the morning and find everything has changed And all the people that I meet don't wear a frown But every day is just the same, I'm chasing rainbows in the rain All the dreams that I believe in let me down

Maybe I'm reaching far too high For I have something else entirely free The love of someone close to me Unfettered by the world that hurries by To question such good fortune, who am I?
