Keep on - Coming on - Keep on

You got me movin’ to the rhythm of your love
The very heavens are openin’ above
My mind is surely gone
And from this moment on
The magic you create drives me wild ----- extend to chorus

Chorus
Keep on - coming on - keep on
Keep on - coming on - keep on
Just keep on - coming on - keep on
Why don’t you keep on - coming on - keep on
Oh baby keep on - coming on - keep on ------- extend into 2nd verse

Make up your mind c’mon and find the way to dreams
These things are never really quite the way they seem
Let’s take it from the start
Before we drift apart
And recreate that fantasy again ------- extend to chorus

Chorus
Ah said keep on - coming on - keep on
Why don’t you keep on - coming on - keep on
Keep on - coming on - keep on, Keep on - coming on - keep on,
Keep on - coming on - keep on, Keep on - coming on - keep on.

(Building up tempo in last two lines to finish)

Island of Skye (***) (3:28)

Towering mountains reach out into space
Pounding waves rushing along the rock face
Fishing boats leaving, with seagulls on high
Call out the name of my Island of Skye

The songs and the music fill my heart with pride
A soft gentle sadness that I try to hide,
The cliffs and the moorland, where eagles may fly,
Reminders again of the Island of Skye

Bridge
ooOh the Misty Island - ooOh of the highlands
A gem of the ocean, over the sea
That land is my land it’s calling to me

Chorus
Oh Island of Skye, the land of my birth
The places and people, the salt of the earth
Memories of childhood, that bring me a smile
Please let me return - - ooOh let me return
To my Misty Isle

Bridge
ooOh the Misty Island – ooOh of the highlands
A gem of the ocean, over the sea
That land is my land it’s calling to me

Chorus (with changes)
Oh Island of Skye, the land of my birth
The places and people, the salt of the earth
Memories of childhood, that bring me a smile
Please let me return - - let me return
Calling to me – Calling to me -- (echo)
Let me return to my Misty Isle

Let me return to my Misty Isle.

I’m Flying High


So many people told me
That I couldn’t fly
Then you came into my life
An’ lifted me so hi-hi-high---

I’m flying higher
Than I’ve ever flown before
I’m flying higher
An’ all I want is more-more-more


I’m flying hi-hi-hi-high---
I’ve never been so high before Chorus
We’re reachin’ for the sky now
Ah couldn’t ask for any more

I’m flying high----I’m flying hi-hi-high----


(Repeat 1st verse, then Chorus)
