The Sparrow

The green grass grows on the side of the hill rain or shine
The sparrow flies on a wing and a prayer day or night
The clouds in the sky float by
And time sure flies
The flowers in the field they know
And they mark the time as it goes

Today a baby's born
Mom has tears in her eyes
Tomorrow daddy cries
As she walks down the aisle
Time's gone in a flash goodbye
Where does it go
Close your eyes and ten years go by
Where it went nobody knows

Slow down take your time
Smell the flowers in the field
Fly high like a sparrow in the sky
He knows just how you feel

As the sun sets in the west
We close our eyes
Think about the time we spent
How we lived our lives
Years pass in the blink of an eye
Take the bad with the good
Did we live did we laugh did we love
Did we do everything we could

Slow down take your time
Smell the flowers in the field
Fly high like a sparrow in the sky
He knows just how you feel

Slow down take your time
Smell the flowers in the field
Fly high like a sparrow in the sky
Oh he knows just how you feel

Fly with the sparrow now
On a wing and a prayer
