“Kites,” written by Hal Hackady and Lee Pockriss, is a gorgeous, soaring ballad that uses unusual instrumentation for a pop song—vibes, a gong, a wind machine, plus an early use of the mellotron—and the recited “sweet nothings” whispers of a woman speaking in Chinese.

I will fly a yellow paper sun in your sky

I will float a silken silver moon near your window
If your night is dark, if your night is dark

I will write "I love you"
And send it soaring high above you
For all to read
I will scatter rice paper stars in your heaven

All of these and seven wonders more will I find
When the wind is high, when the wind is high
In letters of gold on a snow white kite
I will write "I love you"
And send it soaring high above you
For all to read
[IN CHINESE]
"I love you I love you My love is very strong It flies high like a kite before the wind, Please do not let go of the string."
In letters of gold on a snow white kite
I will write "I love you"
And send it soaring high above you
For all to read
