Let The Little Bird Fly

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She came into my life one spring Swinging her doll in an old tire swing She was just ten, and I'd just turned thirteen A little bird fell from a tree She gently picked it up and gave it to me It tried to get away, but I squeezed with all my might And with a little girl plea, "Oh please, set it free" She softly cried [Chorus] Let the little bird fly Let the little bird fly away Let it go, I heard my mama say But if it returns, it will be yours forever But if it should go and stay It was never yours anyway [Verse 2] She flew into my heart and dreams Old enough now to try her new wings Eager for love and all that love could bring Like the bird that fell from the tree She gently gave her love and body to me But love has to breathe and I held on much too tight As she told me back then, she said it again And then she made her flight [Chorus] Let the little bird fly Let the little bird fly away Let it go, I heard my mama say But if it returns, it will be yours forever But if it should go and stay It was never yours anyway [Outro] Let the little bird fly Let the little bird fly away Let it go, I heard my mama say But if it returns, it will be yours forever But if it should go
