Carmen McRae Introduces "Skyliner" / Skyliner - Carmen McRae

Skyliner, skyliner

Flying so freely

We seem to really

Touch heaven higher

Higher, ever higher

Sunbeams all dance

On your wings

Where the light falls

And then when night falls

Stars dance above

Giving a show

For the people below

As we fly, as we fly

So high

Hearing each single beat

Of the motor’s repeat

With a sigh, baby

By and by

I’ll hold him close

That’s the sweet song they sing me

Skyliner, bring me home to love

I’m hurrying home to you

I’m through with being lonely

I’m hurrying home to you

Don’t you know you’re

My one and only

Fast, fast, traveling fast

Dear, all the quarrels of the past

We’ll keep in the past, dear

I wanna be in your arms

Where I can hug and kiss you

I wanna be in your arms

Wanna show you the way I miss you

Fast, fast, traveling fast

Dear, and to have you close

Is all that I’m thinking of
