"Flying High"

Written by Scott Cooley


I’ve got a new goal and you’re it babe

I’m taking baby steps ‘till I get through

I can tell you love me by the way you smile

The closer I get the more I love you too


I’m flying high every time I get near you

I’m walking on air with all my cares far behind

I’m flying high with all my worries in the rear view

I’m flying high on cloud nine and I’m proud to be making you mine


You’re playing hard to get, you can’t help it

But I’m confident I’ll win you over in time

I know I can be the best and I deserve respect

I know what I’m worth and I like an uphill climb


I’m flying high every time I get near you

I’m walking on air with all my cares far behind

I’m flying high with all my worries in the rear view

I’m flying high on cloud nine and I’m proud to be making you mine


Falling for you isn’t really falling at all

It’s rising high into the heavens above

I’ve got a soaring spirit and the sky’s the limit

When it comes down to falling in love


You’ve got me out of my comfort zone I admit

But somehow I know I can trust you anyway

I’m making first moves getting into a groove

I’m making sure I make you laugh every day


I’m flying high every time I get near you

I’m walking on air with all my cares far behind

I’m flying high with all my worries in the rear view

I’m flying high on cloud nine and I’m proud to be making you mine
