Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Flying high on a feeling

Flying high

Flying high on a good thing

Flying high on your love

[Verse 2]

I knew we could make it from the beginning

The first time I saw you passing by, whoa

To me, it was much more than a notion

It was the fire in your eyes

[Verse 3]

Flying high on a feeling

Flying high

Flying high on a good thing

Flying high on your love

[Verse 4]

Your face has a glow, girl, like the sunrise

You speak in a whisper like the wind, whoa

And when I touch you I see clearly

That we can be more than just friends

[Verse 5]

Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo, doo doo

Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo, yeah, baby

Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo, doo doo

Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo

[Verse 6]

Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo, doo doo (Flying higher)

Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo (On your love)

Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo, doo doo (Flying higher)

Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo (On your love)

[Verse 7]

Flying high on a feeling

Flying high

Flying high on a good thing

Flying high on your love

[Verse 8]

On your love

On your love

On your love

Yeah

[Verse 9]

Whoa, sweet darling

Whoa, I wanna say

Flying

Your love takes me higher

Higher

Oh, say it again

[Verse 10]

Flying

Higher

Higher

[Verse 11]

Say it again

Oh, sweet lady

Higher

High, high

[Verse 12]
