If I've been acting a little strange
And you have noticed it too
It's 'cause my life has been rearranged
With the presence of you
The sky is the limit now
We can hit it on the nail

And when we do
I'll think about you
How can we fail
Can you give me one reason why
You'd ever let me down

I won't believe it baby, but I'll try
The truth's goin' to come around
The sky is the limit now
We can hit it on the nail
And when we do

I'll think about you
How can we fail
The sky is the limit
Oh, the sky is the limit

How can we fail
Sooner or later
I'll keep the promise

I made you
Sooner or later
It will be greater
Than we ever knew
The sky is the limit now
We can hit it on the nail

And when we do
I'll think about you
The sky is the limit now
We can hit it on the nail

And when we do
I'll think about you
How can we fail
The sky is the limit
The sky is the limit
Oh, the sky is the limit

How can we fail
The sky is the limit
Oh, the sky is the limit
How can we fail

Fleetwood Mac

Fleetwood Mac are a British-American rock band formed in 1967 in London. Due to numerous line-up changes, the only original member present in the band is its eponymous drummer, Mick Fleetwood. Despite band founder Peter Green naming the group by combining the surnames of two of his former bandmates (Fleetwood, McVie) from John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, bassist John McVie played neither on their first single nor at their first concerts. The keyboardist, Christine McVie, who joined the band in 1970 while married to John McVie, appeared on all but two albums, either as a member or as a session musician. She also supplied the artwork for the album Kiln House. more »
