[English]

If you ever feel like you're gonna fall

Oh, I'll be there

And if you ever feel down or feel small

Oh, don't despair

And if you ever feel lost or feel alone

Babe, come on home

Let's just make love all night

Let's just hold on so tight

Let's make it last for life

I won't let you go

Yeah, we're flying

Feels just like flying

We're such a long way up

From the ground

Just you and me flying

So high and I'm never gonna come down

Everytime you turn around and wanna run

Oh, come to me

When every little dream comes undone

Oh, don't worry

Let's just make love all night

Let's just hold on so tight

Let's make it last for life

I won't let you go

Yeah, we're flying

Feels just like flying

We're such a long way up

From the ground, yeah

It's just you and me flying

So high and I'm never gonna come down, no

...

It's just you and me

Oh, let's just make love all night

Let's just hold on so tight

Let's make it last for life

I won't let you go

Yeah, we're flying

Feels just like flying

Oh, we're such a long way up

Oh, from the ground (yeah, we're flying)

Yeah, we're flying (feels just like flying)

Feels like flying (we're such a long way up)

A long, long way from the ground

Yeah, we're flying

So high and

We're never gonna come down, you and me
