A Bird's Song

When I would play my song

You used to sing along

I always seem to forget

How fragile are the very strong

I'm sorry I can't steal you

I'm sorry I can't stay

So I'll put band-aids on your knees

And watch you fly away

I'm sending you away tonight

I'll put you on a bird's strong wing

I'm saving you the best way I know how

I hope again one day to hear you sing

You know we're not so far away

Get on a boat, get on a train

And if you ever think you're drowning

I'll try to slow the rain

In two years or so

Drop me a line, write me a letter

I hope to find you're doing better

Better than today, better everyday

I'm sending you away tonight

I'll put you on a bird's strong wing

I'm saving you the best way I know how

I hope again one day to hear you sing

I'm saving you the only way that I know how

I hope again one day to hear you sing

I hope again one day to see you

Bring your smile back around again
