Lyrics

Flying high, gonna be there
Flying high
Flying high on a good thing
Flying high on your love
I knew we could make it from the beginning
First time I saw you passing by, whoa
To me, it was much more than emotion
It was the fire in your eyes
Flying high on a good thing
Flying high on your love
Your face has a glow, girl, like a sunrise
You speak in a whisper like the wind, whoa
And when I touch you I see clearly
And we can be more than just friends
Di di di di di di di di
Di di di di di (yeah, baby)
Di di di di di di di di
Di di di di di di (woo)
Flying high, girl (di di di di di dii)
On your love (di di di di di)
Flying high, girl (di di di di di dii)
On your love (di di di di di)
Flying high on a feeling (yeah, baby, flying high)
Flying high
Flying high on a good thing
Flying high on your love
On your love (your love)
On your love (your love)
On your love, yeah
Flying high
Flying (oh, oh)
Higher, higher (ooh)
Higher (yay), higher (yay)
