~ When Falling Feels Like Flying ~ September 30, 2002 – Jamie Lynne Long ago I met this lady, She was such a wild heart, Didn’t want to be tamed, couldn’t be shamed, She was tearing my defenses apart, I realized soon that I loved her, But I wondered if she felt as true, So when the timing was right I asked her one winter night Asked her how she knew When she had fallen in love, and quiet as the falling snow, She whispered soft, “I always know – I’m falling when I’m flying Like I’m glidin through the sky When lovin feels like leavin Leavin all my life behind, When little things don’t matter When these feet can’t touch the ground, When my heart hurts with love, At the beauty that I’ve found, I know - when falling feels like flying How high we soared for a time, With nothing to hold us down, Higher and higher, fueled by desire, In our passion we nearly drowned, Gasping for air, clawing at life, Our hunger never waned, Crazy in love, we were reckless, Who knew we were falling all along, I asked how love was supposed to go, And when I asked, she said you’ll know, When fallin feels like flyin Like you’re glidin through the sky When lovin feels like leavin Leavin all your life behind, When little things don’t matter When your feet can’t touch the ground, When your heart hurts with love, At the beauty you have found, And then I knew - cause falling felt like flying. But everything good must end, And what goes up must fall, What we had was heaven, Back when we had it all, Then and still, my lady, You’re all I’m thinking of, Though it was all it could’ve been, I know that it was love, Cause I remember when, When fallin felt like flyin Like I was glidin through the sky When lovin felt like leavin Leavin all my life behind, When little things didn’t matter When these feet couldn’t touch the ground, When my heart hurt with love, At the beauty I had found, I knew - cause falling felt like flying. *Bridge* Every day that passes, Leaves with me thoughts of you, And though my heart’s through crying, I miss our love, lady I miss flying. And God knows how I flew - while I was falling in love with you. |

And God knows how I flew - while I was falling in love with you. *********************************** Great line, Jamie... and an even greater feeling. We are all equal but we’re individually different |
