Flying High (Album Version)

Flying High (Album Version) - Karla Bonoff

Written by：S. Ferguson

I've got something I'd like to tell you

Something that happend to me

I'd been feelin' thoroughly lowdown

So I went to see the gypsy

She sat me down by her candle

She said she had the powers that be

And she looked me in the eye and took my hand

And this is what she said to me

She said now you're flying high

Tomorrow you might be low

The same thing that makes your baby cry

Might make him get up and go

She said this would be all for now

But that you might come back

If you find it hard to understand

Simple little words like that

So I gave her all of my money

And took off for singapore

But I couldn't unravel those words of hers

So I went back to the gypsy for more

She said now you're flying high

Tomorrow you might be low

The same thing that makes your baby cry

Might make him get up and go

Well just about this time my luck changed

And fortune did roll in

Well I learned the meaning of happiness

And the value of a friend

I met a fine young gentleman

As fine as a man can be

But I never forgot that gypsy girl

And what she said to me

She said now you're flying high

Tomorrow you might be low

The same thing that makes your baby cry

Might make him get up and go

Now you're flying high

Tomorrow you might be low

The same thing that makes your baby cry

Might make him get up and go

And go

And go
