You look so lovely lying there with dreamland's grin up on your face
|
Your golden curls in disarray upon your starched white pillow case
|
The soft blue satin covers pulled up tight around your lovely throat
|
It almost makes me want to go destroy the message on the note
|
The note I wrote upon your perfumed stationary by the phone
|
I hate to think about you waking up at dawn to find me gone
|
It's hard for me to get up in the middle of the night and go
|
But thinking back I do remember faintly that I told you so
|
I told you I was like a bird a free and wild and restless thing
|
And even though I take a mate and build a nest in early spring
|
When summer winds have had their day and winter clouds're flyin' high
|
Instinctively I spread my wings and fly
|
|
I only know why but I must go and nothing here must hold me back
|
I like the love you gave me and the tender way you scratched my back
|
I like your warm sweet kisses and the way you cook your ham and eggs
|
I like the way the suntan lotion softened up your lovely legs
|
I like the static noise I heard when you would sit and brush your hair
|
The way you gave yourself to me and never asked to go nowhere
|
But most of all I like the way you always smiled and never frowned
|
The way you took this chance for love and took me just for what I am
|
I told you I was like a bird...
|
|
And now my darling as I leave I fight the yearning in my blood
|
To wake you up and love you just once more before I go for good
|
But somehow I am fighting back my passion for I cannot stay
|
And someday you'll look back and know best it ended up this way
|
I told you I was like a bird...
|
I fly I fly
|
