Songbird (Fly Me To Sleep)
Sipping my coffee just killing time
Turning through the pages one by one in my mind
Saw a child in a daydream, what a beautiful sight
Then I saw an open window and a songbird in flight
Years went by maybe we talked here and there
About things that didn't matter it seemed better
not to care
Wish I would've told you
Your voice soothed my pain
Wish it could have soothed yours now
Yours seems in vain, so I say...
Songbird fly me to sleep, songbird fly me to sleep,
Songbird fly me to sleep, oh songbird fly
Looking back I can see now
what I couldn't see then
Can't help but wonder when there was ever a choice
But all I wanted to hear then was your sweet
songbird voice, so I'd say...
Chorus
You took a lonely ride to
Get beyond all the shame and tears
What made you decide to
Was there nothing more that could keep you here
In a world that wouldn't hear you
Oh songbird fly
Sipping my coffee just killing time
Flipping through the pages one by one in my mind
Saw a child in a daydream such a beautiful sight
Now she'll dream forever think she'll be alright
Chorus
Turning through the pages one by one in my mind
Saw a child in a daydream, what a beautiful sight
Then I saw an open window and a songbird in flight
Years went by maybe we talked here and there
About things that didn't matter it seemed better
not to care
Wish I would've told you
Your voice soothed my pain
Wish it could have soothed yours now
Yours seems in vain, so I say...
Songbird fly me to sleep, songbird fly me to sleep,
Songbird fly me to sleep, oh songbird fly
Looking back I can see now
what I couldn't see then
Can't help but wonder when there was ever a choice
But all I wanted to hear then was your sweet
songbird voice, so I'd say...
Chorus
You took a lonely ride to
Get beyond all the shame and tears
What made you decide to
Was there nothing more that could keep you here
In a world that wouldn't hear you
Oh songbird fly
Sipping my coffee just killing time
Flipping through the pages one by one in my mind
Saw a child in a daydream such a beautiful sight
Now she'll dream forever think she'll be alright
Chorus
