Lyrics
Here I am flying
Expressing the speaker's current state of being airborne.
Looking down at mother earth below
Observing the Earth from the sky.
Above me only blue skies
Describing the open sky without obstructions.
Below me is a cotton candy world
Describing the world below as dreamlike and sweet like cotton candy.
Here I am dreaming
Indicating a shift to a dream state or imaginative experience.
Plane I'm on flies gently as a bird
Comparing the flight to the gentle movement of a bird.
Captain said something
Noticing the captain speaking, but unable to hear the words.
But I never heard single word
Emphasizing the speaker's disconnectedness from the surroundings.
Here I am flying
Reiterating the sensation of flying.
Look above you
Encouraging someone to look up at the sky.
I'll be watching you
Expressing a watching presence from above.
Maybe you won't see me
Suggesting that the speaker may go unnoticed.
But soon I'll be flying
Anticipating future flights.
Soon I'll be flying home to you
Looking forward to returning home.
Gazing at the sunrise
Observing the sunrise while in flight.
Homeland sure looks green far down below
Noting the green landscape of the homeland from above.
Now we're almost landed
Announcing the approaching landing.
I can see the hostess by the door
Spotting the hostess as the plane prepares to land.
Here I am flying
Repeating the theme of flying and observation.
Look above you
Encouraging continued observation from below.
I'll be watching you
Reiterating the speaker's watchful presence.
Maybe you won't see me
Suggesting potential unnoticed observation.
But soon I'll be flying
Anticipating future flights and return home.
Soon I'll be flying home to you
Expressing the impending return to a significant other.
Won't be long 'till I see
Anticipating seeing familiar landmarks.
Bridges on our river
Specifically mentioning bridges over a river as a recognizable feature.
Looking at the old familiar lights
Observing familiar lights in the speaker's surroundings.
Won't be long 'till we'll be
Anticipating the end of sleepless nights, possibly indicating a reunion.
Making up for countless sleepless nights
Expecting to make up for past difficulties or separations.
Here I am flying
Repeating the experience of looking down at the Earth from the sky.
Looking down at mother earth below
Reiterating the vivid imagery of the Earth below.
Above me only blue skies
Repeating the description of the open sky above.
Below me is a cotton candy world
Reiterating the dreamlike quality of the world below.
Here I am flying
Reiterating the speaker's state of flying.
Look above you
Encouraging continued observation from below.
I'll be watching you
Reiterating the speaker's watchful presence.
Maybe you won't see me
Suggesting potential unnoticed observation.
But soon I'll be flying
Anticipating future flights and return home.
Soon I'll be flying home to you
Expressing the imminent return to a significant other.
