Flying Lyrics







Silks and satins and velvet soft evenings and penthouse nights

Way down below me, the maze of the city streets shine

I hear the soul and the heart of the city, it pounds

While I fly up here, I'm two thousand feet above ground



It happened tonight, I had to do it or die

It happened tonight, I finally learned how to fly



And so diving and soaring and swirling, I fly like the wind

How did I do it? I wouldn't even know where to begin

I was playing a solo on my electric guitar

And the next thing I know, I'm sailing around through the air



It just happened tonight, I had to do it or die

It happened tonight, I finally learned how to fly



I'm flying! I'm flying! I'm flying! What more can I say?

It's a thrill beyond words, it completely captures the day

And so now I'll go flying as well as go dancing all night

I feel like a feather, I feel like a small beam of light



It just happened tonight, I had to do it or die

It happened tonight, I finally learned how to fly



I'm flying! I'm flying! I'm flying! I'm flying! I'm flying!

I'm flying! I'm flying! I'm flying! I'm flying! I'm flying!
