Fly With You
Pete Murray Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

First time that I saw your face
I was blown away without a trace
I felt so alone on a busy street
When you passed me by
I felt my feet melt away
Melt away

I pray to God that I could meet
Somebody like the girl that I'd just seen
Someone that can stop me dead
Someone that will spin round, in my head, all day
In my head, all day

Someday I will fly with you
Someday I will fly with you

That night I saw her again
Was the first time I touched her hand
She made me feel so warm
We talked all night, til the dawn came our way
Til the dawn came our way

But the timing was all wrong
When I met the one, I should've known
Instead I walked away
Leaving behind my destiny on that day
My destiny on that day

Someday I will fly with you
Someday I will fly with you

But I still see her face
In my mind, it's the only place
And we will meet again
And I will touch your hand again, on that day
Your hand again, on that day

Someday I will fly with you
Someday I will fly with you




Someday I will fly with you
Someday I will fly with you

First time that I saw your face
When I first saw you, I was completely taken aback


I was blown away without a trace
You completely stole my heart, and I was left with nothing


I felt so alone on a busy street
Despite being in a crowd of people, I felt isolated and disconnected


When you passed me by
As you walked past me


I felt my feet melt away
I was so captivated by you that I felt weak in the knees


I pray to God that I could meet
I wish that I could find someone like you, and I'm hoping for a chance encounter


Somebody like the girl that I'd just seen
Someone who is as captivating as the girl I just saw

That night I saw her again
When I saw her again that night


Was the first time I touched her hand
That was the first time I made physical contact with her

We talked all night, til the dawn came our way
We had an amazing conversation that lasted all night, until sunrise


But the timing was all wrong
Unfortunately, the circumstances were not in our favor


When I met the one, I should've known
When I met the person who I thought was 'the one', I should have realized it wasn't true


Instead I walked away
Instead of pursuing my true destiny, I left it behind


Leaving behind my destiny on that day
I neglected my true path and destiny


But I still see her face
Even now, I can still see her face in my mind


In my mind, it's the only place
The only place I can relive that memory is in my head


And we will meet again
I have faith that we will see each other again


And I will touch your hand again, on that day
And when we see each other again, I know we will make contact once more


Someday I will fly with you
I believe that we are destined to be together, and someday we will unite


Someday I will fly with you
I'm convinced that one day we will be together, no matter how long it takes

I am certain that our love story will have a happy ending, and we will be united


Someday I will fly with you
When the timing is right, and our paths are aligned, we will finally be together
