A bird on the wing

You came in the night, like a bird on the wing

You tried then to sing, like an angel sings

 

You gave all your love to the first and to the last

You never asked for much, they came and went so fast

 

Once in a while, there will be another day

And once in a while, you will find another way

 

But time after time you’ve been searching for love

But now that you’re older and days seem much shorter

You look to the past when the world wasn’t cold

And all of your dreams were of silver and gold

 

But once in a while, there will be another day

And once in a while, you will find another way

 

You can’t believe that time has passed you by

You gave them everything but all they did was lie

So how could it be that the world couldn’t see

That all that you wanted was love that was free

 

You came in the night, like a bird on the wing

You tried then to sing, like an angel sings

Like an angel sings, like an angel sings
