BYE BYE BIRDY

Bye bye birdie

I guess I gotta let you fly birdie

up up high in the sky

and never look back on me birdie

I let you go remember

took the clips from your wings

and let you grow remember

you don’t remember?

Birdie don’t be silly

of course I love your singing

I loved the way you loved me

even though you never did it right

I loved the way your night song touched me

even though our harmonies weren't all that tight

but now you gotta go out there

find a girl with feathers

not with kinky hair

one that can and will hatch you an egg

one that'll build you all a nest

but that ain’t me

I ain’t got a beak

or the capability

to really make you happy

so fly birdie

fly fly high birdie

up into the sky birdie

and ill stay here

I realize were not the same

and frankly I’m tired of this tiring game

of charades

where I act a fool

which would be fine

if only you could guess the clues

but you never do

so we always loose

because the sand has run out on that tiny little clock

that we never even use

because we can never agree to

so once again my birdie

I wish you bye bye

my hearts too low honey

your homes in the sky

I cant really cry

but the tears flow anyway

and I wave coz I’ve run out of words to say

although I know by now you’re too far up to see any of it either way
