I was a mortal with feet on the ground

There I was, standing with people around

Lovely music started somewhere

And I started floating on air

Into a dream world I floated afar

I saw you smile as I reached for a star

Could it happen, could it happen?

I only know, here we are

Waltzing, waltzing, high in the clouds

Drifting, dreaming, far from the crowds

Over a moonbeam we stroll away

While the world below seems to roll away

And we go waltzing, waltzing, high in the clouds

Only you and I in the clouds

No one will hear when you call, my own dear one

While waltzing high in the clouds

Oh, waltzing, waltzing, high in the clouds

Drifting, dreaming, far from the crowds

Over a moonbeam we stroll away

While the world below seems to roll away

And we go waltzing, waltzing, high in the clouds

Only you and I in the clouds

No one will hear when you call, my own dear one

While waltzing high in the clouds

Lyrics by Robert Stolz
Trevor Sleader: "Jess, along with many others, entertained the troops and the populous of Fremantle in the Fremantle Town Hall during WW2. The original concerts were broadcast on the radio at the time but no recordings were made as far as we know.My future sister-in-law was also on the bill performingShirley Templenumbers and she has a vivid memory of Jess performing in a blue dress little knowing that their paths would later cross. The recording was made in the 1980s at the Armadale Retirement Village Hall by one of the residents. (Armadale being a southern suburb of Perth) Far from a professional recording but at least it's a great memory of her voice. As far as I'm aware she had no formal musical training."
