Marc Shaiman - Fly, Fly Away lyrics

[BRENDA] When I was a child, my eyes were clear, I saw the good side That's the kind of second sight that doesn't last too long Then when I was lost, I heard a voice that brought me healing That's the kind of special hope he brought me with his song People only saw the doctor, lawyer, Indian chief But he was just a lonely little boy to me With his sweet and gentle touch he sure unlocked my soul So in return I surely want to help to set him free Yeah, now I wanna see him fly, fly I'll be your alibi, my baby Fly, fly, fly away We didn't get to say goodbye, goodbye No need to tell me why, my baby Maybe it's because you'll fly back home to me one day Men who you call real were really fakes who left me nothing But this man you call a fake gave me something real I've known cruel men with Christian names that taught me manners But this man without a name taught me how to feel They only saw the magic tricks, the smoke and mirrors Was I the only one to ever see the boy? So now they want to clip his precious wings and bring him down But in his heart and soul's the kind of good they can't destroy So now I wanna see him fly, fly I'll be your alibi, my baby Fly, fly, fly away We didn't get to say goodbye, goodbye No need to tell me why, my baby Maybe it's because you'll fly back home to me one day Baby, when you're in the clouds, please keep a lookout Maybe, darling, find a hideaway for you and I, you and I And now I wanna see you fly, fly I'll be your alibi, my baby Fly, fly, fly away We didn't get to say goodbye, goodbye No need to tell me why, my baby Maybe it's because you'll fly back home to me one day And I'll be waiting for you there You'll fly back home to me one day
