Long ago we agreed to keep it light 
    A         A/g    F#m7     F13    Em 
So let‘s be married one more night 
D         Dm7       A      E7/g#

There‘s no one waving anyway 
      B              Bm7     E 
The smokey life is practiced everywhere 
 
So set your restless heart at ease 
Take a lesson from these autumn leaves 
They waste no time waiting for the snow 
 
Don‘t argue now or you‘ll be late 
There‘s nothing to investigate 
It‘s light enough, light enough 
To let it go 
Light enough 
To let it go 
 
Remember when the scenery started fading 
I held you ‘til you learned to walk on air 
So don‘t look down, the ground is gone 
There‘s no one waving anyway 
The smokey life is practiced everywhere 
 
Come on back if the moment lends 
You can look up all my very closest friends 
Light, light enough 
To let it go 
It‘s light, light enough 
           A     A/g    F#m7   F13    A 
To let it go
