about
From the musical Derry-Dum-Dee, this bright Klezmer inspired tune is about the most important part of relationship, retaining connection yet still letting the other fly!

lyrics
Beautiful Kite with a silver twine
You keep me looking high, even when I’m down
you love to fly, but when the tension's too high
You break away and leave me on the ground.
I love my kite, and we are two
You’re tied to me and I’m tied to you
You fly away up into the blue
But we’re attached cause I’m hooked on you!
Beautiful Kite with a silver twine
You keep me looking high, even when I’m down
you love to fly, but when the tension's too high
You break away and leave me on the ground.
Instrumental violin
Beautiful Kite with a silver twine
You keep me looking high, even when I’m down
you love to fly, but when the tension's too high
You break away and leave me on the ground.
If I hold you too tight, you just pull and strain
but while I help you rise, You don't want to break away
Mmmmmm
Oh my Beautiful Kite with a silver twine
You stay high, even when I’m down
you love to fly, but when the tension's high
stay connected to me here on the ground.
Let's stay a team!
You keep me looking high, even when I’m down
you love to fly, but when the tension's too high
You break away and leave me on the ground.
I love my kite, and we are two
You’re tied to me and I’m tied to you
You fly away up into the blue
But we’re attached cause I’m hooked on you!
Beautiful Kite with a silver twine
You keep me looking high, even when I’m down
you love to fly, but when the tension's too high
You break away and leave me on the ground.

Beautiful Kite with a silver twine
You keep me looking high, even when I’m down
you love to fly, but when the tension's too high
You break away and leave me on the ground.
If I hold you too tight, you just pull and strain

Mmmmmm
Oh my Beautiful Kite with a silver twine
You stay high, even when I’m down
you love to fly, but when the tension's high
stay connected to me here on the ground.
Let's stay a team!
