[Verse 1]
She's just sixteen years old
Leave her alone, they say
Separated by fools
Who don't know what love is yet
But I want you to know
[Hook]
If I could fly, I'd pick you up
I'd take you into the night
And show you a love

[Verse 2]
It's like having a dream
Where nobody has a heart
It's like having it all
And watching it fall apart
And I would wait till the end of time for you
And do it again, it's true
I can't measure my love
There's nothing to compare it to
But I want you to know
[Hook]
If I could fly, I'd pick you up
I'd take you into the night

Oh, if I could fly, I'd pick you up
I'd take you into the night
And show you a love
Like you've never seen, ever seen
Yeah, ooh
[Modified Hook]
If I could fly, I'd pick you up
I'd take you into the night
And show you a love
Oh, if I could fly, I'd pick you up
And take you into the night
[Outro]
(Into the night, fly) if I could fly
I'd pick you up
Oh into the night
I'd pick you up

We thought that we already had the hit song, so did Polydor Records. It was a song called ‘Might Have Been Love.’ But at the last mi...
