Look at the rainbow
Look at the moon glow
Look at the clouds roll by
Baby, just you and I
Walkin’ on air

Everything’s sunny
Tasting like honey
Doesn’t the world look nice
Up here in paradise
Walkin’ on air

(Walkin’ on air is so easy)
All you gotta know is how to do it
(Walkin’ on air is so breezy)
There’s really nothing to it
It wasn’t always this way
We had to shake all our hang-ups
To get where we’re living today

The stars that surround us
Make love all around us
And isn’t the feeling fine
From now until the end of time
We’ll be walkin’ on air
