High Flying, Adored - Andrew Lloyd Webber, Colm Wilkinson, Julie Covington

High flying adored,

So young

The instant queen

A rich beautiful thing

Of all the talents

A cross between

A fantasy of the bedroom

And a saint

And you were just a backstreet girl

Hustling and fighting

Scratching and biting

High flying adored did you believe

In your wildest moments

All this would be yours

That you’d become the lady of them all

Were there stars in your eyes

When you crawled in at night

From the bars, from the sidewalks

From the gutter theatrical

Don’t look down

Its a long long way to fall

High flying adored

What happens now

Where do you go from here

For someone

On top of the world

The views not exactly clear

A shame you did it all at twenty-six

There are no mysteries now

Nothing can thrill you

No one fulfill you

High flying adored

I hope you come

To terms with boredom

So famous so easily

So soon

It’s not the wisest thing to be You don’t care if they love you

It’s been done before

You despair if they hate you

You’ll be drained of all energy

All the young who’ve made it Would agree

High flying adored

That’s good to know,

But uninportant

My story’s quite usual

Local girl

Makes good weds famous man

I was stuck in the right place

At the perfect time

Filled a gap I was lucky

But one thing I’ll say for me No one else can fill it like I can.
