Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You're beautiful

That's for sure

You'll never ever fade

You're lovely

But it's not for sure

That I won't ever change

[Verse 2]

And though my love is rare

And though my love is true

[Verse 3]

I'm like a bird

I'll only fly away

I don't know where my home is

I don't know where my soul is

[Verse 4]

I'm like a bird

I'll only fly away

I don't know where my home is

I don't know where my soul is

[Verse 5]

Your faith in me brings me to tears

Even after all these years

But it pains me so much to tell

That you don't know me that well

[Verse 6]

You know my love is rare

You know my love is true

[Verse 7]

I'm like a bird

I'll only fly away

I don't know where my soul is

I don't know where my home is

[Verse 8]

And I'm like a bird

I'll only fly away

I don't know where my home is

I don't know where my soul is

But baby I just want you to know

[Verse 9]

I don't want to say goodbye

It's just every time you try

To tell me

That you love me

[Verse 10]

Each and every single time

I know I'm goin' to have to eventually

Give you away-ay-ay-ay-ay

[Verse 11]

I'm like a bird

I'll only fly away

I don't know where my home is

I don't know where my soul is

[Verse 12]

And I'm like a bird

I'll only fly away

I don't know where my home is

I don't know where my soul is

[Verse 13]

And I'm like a bird

I'll only fly away

I don't know where my home is

I don't know where my soul is

[Verse 14]

And I'm like a bird

I'll only fly away

Don't know where my home is

Don't know where my heart is
