| It was raining hard in 'Frisco | |
| A lady up ahead waved to flag me down | |
| Oh where you going to my lady blue? | |
| She just looked out the window and said | |
| Something about her was familiar | |
| But she said, I'm sure you're mistaken | |
| It took awhile but she looked in the mirror | |
| A smile seemed to come to her slowly | |
| And she said, how are you Harry? | |
| Through the too many miles | |
| I still remember you | |
| I used to take her home in my car | |
| The lesson hadn't gone too far | |
| And I was gonna to learn to fly | |
| And I took off to find the sky | |
| To drive a princess blind | |
| Hiding in me, illuminating my mind | |

| Not what my life's about | |
| Over till my time, runs out | |
| Yes she's flying, afraid to fall | |
| Cause she's dying | |
| There was not much more for us to talk about | |
| So, I turned my cab into the driveway | |
| And she said, we must get together | |
| And she handed me twenty dollars for a two fifty fare, she said | |
| Well, another man might have been angry | |
| But another man would have never let her go | |
| And she walked away in silence | |
| But we'd both gotten what we asked for | |
| You see, she was gonna be an actress | |
| She took off to find the footlights | |
| And here she's acting happy | |
| And me, I'm flying in my taxi | |
| I go flying so high | |
