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 Galilee,
Hitchhike up through Switzerland and drop in at L'Abri
We'll spend our winters in Laguna
And our summers on the farm
And the rest of life in heaven locked in each others' arms.
Fly, fly, fly, my baby gets me high
I spent too much time just hanging 'round the airport,
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. (And then after.)
