Six o'clock in the morning
Still sitting here pouring
The drinks till they're gone
We did everything together
Would have done it forever
How did we go wrong
I know that what goes up comes down
I didn't know you hit the ground

Why'd you have to give it up (fly high, Michelle)
Ooh you were just a little girl (fly high, Michelle)
I'll never look into your blue eyes (fly high, Michelle)
Fly high, Michelle

We did it just for a good time
A misunderstood time
We lived with a fear
I wish we still could have done things
And not overhung things
I wish you were here
And know I'll live a life of could have beens
Until new life begins

Why'd you have to give it up (fly high, Michelle)
Ooh you were just a little girl (fly high, Michelle)
I'll never look into your blue eyes (fly high, Michelle)
Fly high, Michelle

I'll say another prayer tonight
And I'll see you in the light

You have to give it up (fly high, Michelle)
Ooh you were just a little girl (fly high, Michelle)
I'll never look into your blue eyes (fly high, Michelle)
Fly high, Michelle (fly high, Michelle)

You have to give it up (fly high, Michelle)
Ooh you were just a little girl (fly high, Michelle)
I'll never look into your blue eyes (fly high, Michelle)
Fly high, Michelle (fly high, Michelle)
(Fly high Michelle)
Fly high, Michelle
Fly high, Michelle
Fly high, Michelle
