Took a plane to Minnesota to see my lady love
The clouds were far below me and the sky was high above
And when the captain called the flight time
My heart cried out this song -
It's still an hour 'til arrival
And that's an hour much too long

Fly, fly, fly, my baby gets me high
I spent too much time in taxicabs
Please don't ask my why
Fly, fly, fly, seven forty seven halfway to heaven
And with a lot of love, a little help from above
We'll be together 'til we die

We'll honeymoon in Haifa and have lunch in Gallilee
Hitchhike up through Switzerland and drop in at L'Abri
We'll spend our winters in Laguna
And our summers on the farm
Spend the rest of life in heaven locked in each others' arms

Fly, fly, fly, you know my baby gets me high
I spent too much time in taxicabs
Please don't ask my why ( I can't tell you)

Fly fly fly like an eagle in the sky
And with a lot of love, a little help from above
We'll be together 'til we die. (And then after.)
Fly fly fly my baby gets me high
Fly fly fly like an eagle in the sky
Fly fly fly my baby gets me high

Fly, fly, fly, you know my baby gets me high
I spent too much time hanging round the airport
Please don't ask my why ( I can't tell you)
