Hay una expresión en inglés la que significa que una persona está muy feliz:

I feel like I could fly/I feel like flying/It makes me feel like I could fly.

Dos palabras

  1. Puedo decirla así:

Me Sentí como que podía volar

o

Me sentí como volar (this doesn't look right to me)

o

Me dio la sensación de que podía volar

  1. Does an expression like this exist in Spanish or if you know any other expressions that would express the same sentiment what are they?

We use a similar expression; "me siento en las nubes". Means the same.

We say: ahora estoy en la gloria. It is more colloquial.

Thank you Guillermo y Nila,

me siento en las nubes

I think that I may have come across this one before. I believe that a similar English expression to this would be

I felt like I was on cloud nine

Which would also mean that the person felt extremely good/happy

We say: ahora estoy en la gloria.

I don't think that I have ever seen or heard it expressed this way. In English, I think that you could say this in two ways:

Now I am in the glory (I would take this to have a religious connotation to it as if someone were saying "in the glory of the Lord"

The other way would be to say I feel glorious. This would probably be a more similar [removed]just without the the metaphorical use of fly).
