Flying High Lyrics - Karla Bonoff - Karla Bonoff

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 

Chorus: 

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 

Chorus 

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 

Chorus
