Lyrics[]
I'm walking in the air, I'm floating in a midnight sky
The people far below, they greet us as we fly
I'm holding very tight, I'm floating in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you
Ah-ha ah-ha ah, ah-ha ah-ha ah, ah-ha ah-ha ah
Ah ha, ah ha
Far across the world, the villages go by like trees
The rivers and the hills, the forest and the stream
Children gaze, open mouth, taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes
I'm walking in the air, I'm floating in a moonlit sky
The people far below, they greet us as we fly
I'm holding very tight, I'm floating in a midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you
Ah-ha ah-ha ah, ah-ha ah-ha ah, ah-ha ah-ha ah
Ah ha, ah ha
I'm walking in the air
Lyrics transcribed by listening.
