1
You look so pretty lyin' there, with dreamland's smile upon your face
2
Your golden curls in disarray, upon your starched white pillow case
3
The soft blue satin covers pulled up tight around your lovely throat
4
It almost makes me want to go, destroy the message on the note
5
The note I wrote upon your perfumed stationary, by the phone
6
I hate to think about you waking up at dawn, to find me gone
7
It hurts me so to get up, in the middle of the night and go
8
But thinking back, I do remember faintly that I told you so
9
I told you, I was like a bird a free and wild and restless thing
10
And even though I take a mate and build a nest in early spring
11
When summer winds have had their day and winter clouds are flyin' high
12
Instinctively I spread my wings and fly
13
I only know why but I must go and nothing here must hold me back
14
I like the love you gave me and the tender way you scratched my back
15
I like your warm sweet kisses and the way you cook your ham and eggs
16
I like the way the suntan lotion softened up your lovely legs
17
I like the static noise I heard when you would sit and brush your hair
18
The way you gave yourself to me and never asked to go nowhere
19
But most of all I like the way you always smiled and never frowned
20
The way you took this chance for love and took me just for what I am
21
I told you, I was like a bird a free and wild and restless thing
22
And even though I take a mate and build a nest in early spring
23
When summer winds have had their day and winter clouds are flyin' high
24
Instinctively I spread my wings and fly
25
And now, my darling, as I leave I fight the yearning in my blood
26
To wake you up and love you, just once more before I go for good
27
But somehow I am fighting back my passion for I cannot stay
28
And someday you'll look back and know best it ended up this way
29
I told you, I was like a bird a free and wild and restless thing
30
And even though I take a mate and build a nest in early spring
31
When summer winds have had their day and winter clouds are flyin' high
32
Instinctively I spread my wings and fly, I fly I fly
