Name that Tune

You know, then mama took me to Sunday school
They tried to teach me the golden rule
Everytime that choir would sing

Once I was climbing the garden wall
I slipped and had a terrible fall
I fell so hard, I heard bells ring

Once, I was swimmin' 'cross Turtle Creek
Man, them snappers all around my feet
Sure was hard swimmin' 'cross that thing

When I was a little bitty boy
My grandmother bought me a cute little toy
Silver bells hanging on a string

You know, then mama took me to Sunday school
They tried to teach me the golden rule
Everytime that choir would sing

Once I was climbing the garden wall
I slipped and had a terrible fall
I fell so hard, I heard bells ring

Once, I was swimmin' 'cross Turtle Creek
Man, them snappers all around my feet
Sure was hard swimmin' 'cross that thing

This little song, it ain't so sad
The cutest little song you ever had
Those of you who will not sing

George

The answer isn't "Rocket Man." and since my security means YT doesn't run automatically here (nor do I want it to), all I see is a button indicating there's a video, and your writing.

"Commencing countdown, engines on.
Check ignition and may God's love be with you."

 

"Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles, I'm feeling very still."

 

"Tell my wife I love her very much."

"She knows."

 

OK I got my Astronaut space songs mixed up.   This would be Astronaut Major Tom aka  Space Oddity by ~David Bowie~ .   I'd try to post the video but it's a real pain in the butt.

Space Oddity

"Space Oddity" by David Bowie is correct.  ("Major Tom" was a sort-of sequel by Peter Schilling ABOUT the astronaut.)   I'd much rather have the link (which I can use) than a hotlinked video (which is often invisible depending on my browser security settings.)

Another tune:  

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by

The audio of this version is a little weak or maybe it's that "Norwegian Wood" by ~The Beatles~ was recorded in Mono.  Off Rubber Soul I think!  Lennon had some of the best ballets!  Oh yeah!   I think I figured out my video trouble thing that I was having.  Everything I'm posting seems to coming in loud and clear, except for this particular video that is.
