A Bird's Song
a bird's song--Ingrid Michaelson

when i would play my song
you used to sing along
i always seem to forget
how fragile are the very strong
im sorry i cant steal you
im sorry i cant stay
so i'll put band-aids on your knees
And watch you fly away

im sending you away tonight
I'll put you on a bird's strong wings
im saving you the best way i know how
i hope again one day to hear you sing

you know you're nott so far away
get on a boat get on a train
and if you ever think you're drowning
i'll try to slow the rate
and two years old sorrow
draw me a line and  write me a letter

i hope i found you doing better
beter than today better than everyday
im sending you away tonight
I'll put you on a bird's strong wings
im saving you the best way i know how
i hope again one day to hear you sing

im saving you the only way that i know how
i hope again one day to hear you sing
i hope again one day to see you bring your smile  all back round
again
end
