The Birds in the Sky

Every morning, every night I'm thinking about you
It's hard to forget you and accept that we are through
You're the woman I adore but now you broke my heart
Maybe it was fate that has taken us apart.

Oh the birds in the sky looking down wondering why
Why can't I stop my crying look around and stop to hide
How I wish I could be like a bird oh so free
if I was I could go flying instead of sitting crying
I look around the world until I found my little girl.

Guess I should go out and try to find somebody new
but you are still on my mind I stay here in my room
Been sitting in my easy chair since you set me free
sometimes looking through my window knowing I will see.

Oh the birds in the sky looking down wondering why
Why can't I stop my crying look around and stop to hide
How I wish I could be like a bird oh so free
if I was I could go flying instead of sitting crying
I look around the world until I found my little girl.
