You want to spread your wings and fly
Away from me across the sky
You want to soar so very high
So high it makes the eagles cry
And it’s not for me to make you stay
Just leave me here alone to say
Chorus:
Bye, bye bird
Bye, bye bird,
Bye, bye bird
And here I stay upon the ground
Without your love to be around
I watch you fade beyond the clouds
I’m left behind among the crowds
Of those who cannot comprehend
Why love like ours could ever end
Chorus:
Bye, bye bird
Bye, bye bird,
Bye, bye bird
Bridge:
How can the sky be so unkind
To claim the love I thought was mine?
If only I had wings to fly
To soar along with graceful birds
No need to utter useless words
That only binds me to the ground below
The air would lift me past the doubts
Concealed among the endless clouds
No need for me to cry aloud…..
Chorus:
Bye, bye bird
Bye, bye bird
Bye, bye bird
