High Flying Adored

Andrew Lloyd Webber


High flying adored, 
so young 
the instant queen 

A rich beautiful thing 
of all the TIMES 
I'VE CROSSED 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 view IS 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'LL 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 HEAR, 
but uniMportant 

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.
