[Verse 1]
Open up the sky
Cause I'm coming up to you
So send down your wings
And let 'em bring me to you
You know I'm standing at the station, ready to go
Oh, big 'ol aeroplane, I'm trusting you so
[Chorus]
Get on up big bird, to my baby's love
Get on up big bird, to my baby's love
Get on up big bird, cause I got to make it
Get on up big bird, I got to make it
[Verse 2]
With me down here
And you up there
Now all we know is
It ain't no fair
'Cause I got love packed in my baggage
Holdin' my claim check
Gonna be with my baby and never comin' back
[Chorus]
Get on up big bird, to my baby's love
Get on up big bird, to my baby's love
Get on up big bird, I got to make it
Get on up big bird, I got to make it
[Verse 3]
Open up the sky
Cause I'm coming up to you
So send down your wings
And let 'em bring me to you
[Chorus]
Get on up big bird, to my baby's love
Get on up big bird, to my baby's love
Get on up big bird, to my baby's love
So get on up big bird, I got to make it
Get on up
I got to make it
Get on up
[Chorus]
Get on up big bird
Get on up
I got to make it
I got to make it
Get on up
Get on up
Get on up big bird
Get on up big bird
Get on up big bird
Open up the sky
Cause I'm coming up to you
So send down your wings
And let 'em bring me to you
You know I'm standing at the station, ready to go
Oh, big 'ol aeroplane, I'm trusting you so
[Chorus]
Get on up big bird, to my baby's love
Get on up big bird, to my baby's love
Get on up big bird, cause I got to make it
Get on up big bird, I got to make it
[Verse 2]
With me down here
And you up there
Now all we know is
It ain't no fair
'Cause I got love packed in my baggage
Holdin' my claim check
Gonna be with my baby and never comin' back
[Chorus]
Get on up big bird, to my baby's love
Get on up big bird, to my baby's love
Get on up big bird, I got to make it
Get on up big bird, I got to make it
[Verse 3]
Open up the sky
Cause I'm coming up to you
So send down your wings
And let 'em bring me to you
[Chorus]
Get on up big bird, to my baby's love
Get on up big bird, to my baby's love
Get on up big bird, to my baby's love
So get on up big bird, I got to make it
Get on up
I got to make it
Get on up
[Chorus]
Get on up big bird
Get on up
I got to make it
I got to make it
Get on up
Get on up
Get on up big bird
Get on up big bird
Get on up big bird
