[Chorus]
Flyin' high on a feelin'
Flyin' high
Flyin' high on a good thing
Flyin' high on your love
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Flyin' high on a feelin'
Flyin' high
Flyin' high on a good thing
Flyin' high on your love
[Verse 2]
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
That we can be more than just friends
[Bridge]
