lyrics

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
Well my heart cried out this song
It's still an hour till arrival
And that's an hour much too long

Fly Fly Fly
My baby gets me high
I've spent too much time in taxicabs
Please don't ask me why
Fly Fly Fly
Like an eagle in the sky
And with a lot of love a little help from above
We'll be together till we die

We'll honeymoon in Haifa and have lunch in Galilee
We'll hitchhike up through Switzerland and drop in at L'Abri
We'll spend our winters in Laguna
And our summers on the farm
And spend the rest of life in heaven
Locked in each other's arms

Fly Fly Fly
Like an eagle in the sky
And with a lot of love a little help from above
We'll be together till we die
And then after

Fly Fly Fly
My baby gets me high
Fly Fly Fly
Like an eagle in the sky [x2]

Fly Fly Fly
You know my baby gets me high
I've been too much time just hanging round the airport
Please don't ask me why

Fly Fly Fly
You know my baby gets me high
I've been too much time in taxicabs
Please don't ask me why
Fly Fly Fly
Like an eagle in the sky
And with a lot of love a little help from above
We'll be together till we die

Fly Fly Fly
You know my baby gets me high
I've been too much time just hanging round the airport
Please don't ask me why
Fly Fly Fly
Seven forty seven...

[At this point the music continues, but faded as Larry says the following: Thank you. I'm Larry Norman and you're listening to Here's To Veterans. That was a song I recorded in England, eh, this last year with a lot of my friends. It's called Meet Me At The Airport and it's about touring and travelling, and love. Now it's time for a few words from the Veterans Administration and then we'll be right back.]

...halfway to heaven
A lot of love a little help from above
We'll be together till we die

Fly Fly Fly
You know my baby gets me high
I've been too much time in taxicabs
Please don't ask me why
Fly Fly Fly
