"Up, up and away"?

Hello guys,

I've come across this expression "Up and away" more than once and I couldn't find out what it exactly means. English is not my mother-tongue, but I think it must be some sort of enthusiastic call. Anyway, can anyone tell me what does it exactly mean and where and how it is used?

Thanks in advance,
Louie.

Thanks a lot. It's quite interesting but weird tho, because I've seen it also in Erich Segal's "Love Story". So I guess it's commonly used to that extent...

I think if you found it in "Love Story", then the song is the point of reference. It was current at about the time the book was published.
