A Song for Milly Michaelson Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well you know I hardly speak
And when I do, it's just for you
I haven't said a word in weeks
Cause they've been keeping me from you

[Verse 2]
But there's a way where there's a will
You know I got no need for stairs
So step out on the window sill
And fall with me into the air

[Chorus]
So here we go, hold on tight and don't let go
I won't ever let you fall
I love the night and flying o'er these city lights
But I love you most of all

[Verse 3]
And there's something you should know
Girl, you should have died that day
When you fell reaching for the rose
But baby, I was there to save you

[Chorus]
So here we go, hold on tight and don't let go
I won't ever let you fall
I love the night and flying o'er these city lights
But I love you most of all

So here we go, hold on tight and don't let go
I won't ever let you fall
I love the night and flying o'er these city lights
But I love you most of all
