THE MANHATTAN TRANSFER lyrics : "Skyliner"

(Charlie Barnet)
I'm hurrying home to you
I'm through with being lonely

I'm hurrying home to you
Don'cha know you're my one and only
Fast fast travelin' fast dear

The quarrels of the past we'll keep 'em in the past

(Higher Higher Ever Higher)


Skyliner Skyliner
Flying so freely

We seem to really touch heaven
Sunbeams all dance on your
Wings where the light falls

And then when night calls

Stars giving a show for the people below the sky


(I'll get home sooner if the)


Jet streams behind me
Memories remind me
Your love will guide me

Skyliner fly

(Right to your lover and then)


You'll hold him closely
And sing to him sweetly

Skyliner Skyliner

A silver stream that's crystallized

Shining its rays across the sky

('n bye and bye the clouds roll by)


Why don't we dig that crazy kingdom in the sky, that


Hi-fly swinging in the Sky-liner
Just forgetting the troubles below me


[Alan's solo:]
Flyin' in the sky
It's a natural kind of high

When you're ridin' in the atmosphere
The steadily movin' ozone
Will direct you to this song you want to hear


Hey (you dig me) If I'm dreaming shake me(better believe it)
Say (you wig me) If I'm sleeping wake me


[Tim's solo:]
It's a little short time now upon this place

We're workin' a lot n' frettin' about
The who have n' who have not
So please just take a moment out

And move a little closer
We will sing this song and try to make you happy


Giving a show for the people below as we fly
Hearing the beat of the motors repeat with a sigh


(And so we're riding on the)

Skyliner Skyliner

(I'm hurrying home to you, I'm through with being lonely)
Flying so freely
(I'm hurrying home to you, don'cha

Know you're my one and only)
We seem to really touch heaven
(Fast fast hurrying fast

Dear-the quarrels of the past we'll keep 'em in the past)

Sunbeams all dance on your

(I'm gonna be holdin' you, And now I'm feelin' jumpy)
Wings where the light falls
(I'm gonna be holdin' you, I don't care if the ride gets
bumpy)
Then when the night calls (Fast fast travelin' fast dear)
