[Verse 1]
Make me feel like paradise
Give me what I'm missing
Send me to the highest heights
Take me up and away
I've tasted love so many times
With something always missing
But I know that you got the kind
To take me up and away

I know that our journey
Will be filled with passion, love and pleasure
Touching down where only
Satisfaction’s guaranteed
We won't let our feelings
Auto-pilot perfect navigation
Sending us to love bliss
Like no one ever knew could be

Oh, make me feel like paradise
Fill me with your kisses
Make the moment feel just right
Take me up and away
Because I have waited all my life (Flying high)
For the one worth giving (Love sky high)
And I don't have to think twice (Flying high)
Let's go up and away

[Chorus]
Love's light in flight, mmm-hmm
Fuel injection passion (Flying high)
Love's light in flight (Love sky high)
Fuel injection passion

[Verse 2]
We need just to feel it
To know that our loving has the power
Showing that these feelings
Emanate from you and me
With love high aviation
We will fly forever and one hour
Giving us the always
To live out all our fantasies

[Verse 1 repeated]
Make me feel like paradise
Give me what I'm missing, yeah
Send me to the highest heights
Take me up and away
I've tasted love so many times
With something always missing, yeah
But I know you've got the kind
To take me up and away, yeah

[Chorus]
Love's light in flight, mmm-hmm
Fuel injection passion (Flying high)
Love's light in flight (Love sky high)
Fuel injection passion (Flying high)
Love's light in flight (Love sky high)
Fuel injection passion (Flying high)
Love's light in flight (Love sky high)
Fuel injection passion

[Verse 1 repeated]
Oh, lady, make me feel like paradise
Fill me with your kisses, yeah
Make the moment feel just right
Take me up and away
Because I have waited all my life
For the one worth giving
And I don't have to think about it twice
Take me up and away, you'll take me up and away
I know you're gonna take me up and away, woo

[Chorus]
(Flying high)
Love's light in flight (Love sky high)
Fuel injection passion (Flying high)
Love's light in flight (Love sky high)

Let's go up, let's go up, let's go up and away, oh

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
