Walking in the Air - Snowman flying song

This is one of the most magical songs I know. The video The Snowman (from a Raymond Briggs children's picture book -) is wordless (save for the song "Walking in the Air") animated adventure about a young English boy who makes a snowman one Christmas Eve, only for it to come to life that night and take him on a magical adventure to the North Pole to meet Santa Claus.). This video brings tears to my ears... i'm such a sucker for this sort of thing....

I've been looking for this particular recording for years, as i've heard many versions but this is the very best one i know, sung by boy soprano Peter Auty, and I was delighted to find it easily on YouTube, and thank my friend tig for blogging the words:

We’re Walking In the Air - Lyrics

We’re walking in the air,
We’re floating in the moonlight sky,
The people far below are sleeping as we fly.

I’m holding very tight,
I’m riding in the midnight blue,
I’m finding I can fly so high above with you.

Far across the world,
The villages go by like dreams,
The rivers and the hills,
The forest and the streams.

Children gaze open mouthed,
Taken by surprise,
Nobody down below believes their eyes.

We’re surfing in the air,
We’re swimming in the frozen sky,
We’re drifting over icy mountains floating by.

Suddenly swooping low,
On an ocean deep,
Rousing up a mighty monster from his sleep.

We’re walking in the air,
We’re dancing in the midnight sky,
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly.
We’re walking in the air
We’re walking in the air

- Kenny Loggins

The YouTube video res is poor but the sound rings true - listen:
