Corrinne May - Fly Away lyrics

"When will you be home?" she asks As we watch the planes take off We both know we have no clear answer to where my dreams may lead She's watched me as I crawled and stumbled As a child, she was my world And now to let me go, I know she bleeds And yet she says to me You can fly so high Keep your gaze upon the sky I'll be prayin' every step along the way Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart I love you too much to make you stay Baby fly away Autumn leaves fell into spring time and Silver-painted hair Daddy called one evening saying "We need you. Please come back" When I saw her laying in her bed Fragile as a child Pale just like an angel taking flight I held her as I cried You can fly so high Keep your gaze upon the sky I'll be prayin' every step along the way Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart I love you too much to make you stay Baby fly away Oh... I love you too much to make you stay Baby fly away
