Just smile for me and let the day begin You are the sunshine that lights my heat within And I'm sure that you're an angel in disguise Come take my hand and together we will rise On the wings of love Up and above the clouds The only way to fly Is on the wings of love On the wings of love Only the two of us Together flying high Flying high Upon the wings of love You look at me and I begin to melt Just like the snow when a ray of sun is felt And I'm crazy 'bout ya baby, can't you see I'd be so delighted if you could come with me On the wings of love Up and above the clouds The only way to fly Is on the wings of love On the wings of love Only the two of us Together flying high Flying high upon the wings of love Yes, you belong to me And I'm yours exclusively Right now we live and breathe each other Insepreble it seems We're flowing like a stream Running free flowing On the wings of love On the wings of love Up and above the clouds The only way to fly Is on the wings of love On the wings of love Only the two of us Together flying high Together flying high On the wings of love Up and above the clouds The only way to fly Is on the wings of love On the wings of love Only the two of us Together flying high Flying high upon the wings of love, of love
