Music & Lyric by Charlie Barnet
I'm hurrying home to you
I'm through with being lonely
I'm hurrying home to you
Don'cha know you're my one and only
Fast fast travelin' fast dear
The quarrels of the past we'll keep 'em in the past
(Higher Higher Ever Higher)
Skyliner Skyliner
flying so freely
We seem to really touch heaven
Sunbeams all dance on your
wings where the light falls
And then when night calls
Stars giving a show for the people below the sky
(I'll get home sooner if the)
Jet streams behind me
memories remind me
Your love will guide me
Skyliner fly
(Right to your lover and then)
You'll hold him closely
And sing to him sweetly
Skyliner Skyliner
A silver stream that's crystallized
Shining its rays across the sky
('n bye and bye the clouds roll by)
Why don't we dig that crazy kingdom in the sky, that
Hi-fly swinging in the Sky-liner
Just forgetting the troubles below me
Alan's solo:
Flyin' in the sky
It's a natural kind of high
When you're ridin' in the atmosphere
The steadily movin' ozone
will direct you to this song you want to hear
Hey (you dig me) If I'm dreaming shake me(better believe it)
Say (you wig me) If I'm sleeping wake me
Tim's solo:
It's a little short time now upon this place
We're workin' a lot n' frettin' about
The who have n' who have not
So please just take a moment out
And move a little closer
We will sing this song and try to make you happy
Giving a show for the people below as we fly
Hearing the beat of the motors repeat with a sigh
(And so we're riding on the)
Skyliner Skyliner
(I'm hurrying home to you, I'm through with being lonely)
flying so freely
(I'm hurrying home to you, don'cha
know you're my one and only)
We seem to really touch heaven
(Fast fast hurrying fast
dear-the quarrels of the past we'll keep 'em in the past)
Sunbeams all dance on your
(I'm gonna be holdin' you, And now I'm feelin' jumpy)
wings where the light falls
(I'm gonna be holdin' you, I don't care if the ride gets bumpy)
Then when the night calls (Fast fast travelin' fast dear)
IT'S GOOD ENOUGH TO KEEP (Air Mail Special)
Music by Benny Goodman, Jimmy Mundy, & Charlie Christian
Lyric by Alan Paul
The jam is jumpin'
the drums are pumpin'
the groove is lockin' in the rhythm like we want it to be
No time for stallin'
We're really haulin'
we've gotta keep it in the pocket or we'll stagger behind
You never know just when to leave it when you're riffin' in time
Or if the time itself will falter, or of words even rhyme
But we admit, the trick to it is not to think about it
when you're busy bravin' all the notes in the line
This time we mean it
We're gonna swing it
And take you right up to the end before we try to unwind
Alan's solo:
I've never been the kind of guy who could just normally quit
Never could decide when to rest my pride
and feel all right with just good enough
Thoughts, they gather
tellin' me to look to find a bright new way
to assemble all the stimulated motives that haunt me
tryin' a live it, be in the moment, tryin' to sing it alone
can beckon to me, a feelin' of being bent
so I believe, takin' a leave is the brightest way to stop
All the chatter boxin' going 'round in my brain
so I'm wailin' - movin' and groovin' this part of this song
I hope that my riff's good enough to keep
better leave it now or go out of my mind
Violin Solo
Tim's solo:
Now I dig you think that perfect's what we should make it
But I've been down that road and I can tell ya how we feel's
the most important thing about it
Whether you're right or whether you might think
we're pathetic
A little lighter on the reins will help you loosen up the chains
that are still binding you -
In the past, whenever thoughts I had would try to re-
evaluate all that i would do
I'd hesitate, consolidate, and motivate
All the little pearls of doubt that strive to break up
every single bit of
precious joy that flowed from God's soul spark that
shines within me
That's it in a nut shell
So take advice from this sap, go for feel and leave it alone
Mandolin Solo:
Now's the time to sing
Swing is what we bring
Rhythm that's the thing
To really get your spirit movin' higher
Gonna jump and play
Dance the night away
Make you really sway
And let the music take you even higher
E-lla sang this song real special
Come on, come on - we'll sing this special song for you
One more one we'll go
but before we blow
we want you to know
The take is really good enough, we'll keep it!
