I remember when you were a baby snuggled safely against me Baby bird in my hand I remember when you seemed to grow so quickly and learned to fly I cried when you left my nest Bird in the sky I now see you so infrequently I know you would rather be with your friends Bird flying with friends I miss you I love to hear you sing I'm tempted to hold unto you and tell you not to go I need to let you grow I hide my tears I have memories of you to cherish of all these years I let go and let you fly I hope you know I will always be here if you need me I hope you know how much I love you My bird soar to new heights My bird fly I will look to the sky and watch you from afar Fly my bird fly glide across the sky

Bird in the hand
I remember when you were a baby snuggled safely against me Baby bird in my hand I remember when you seemed to grow so quickly and learned to fly I cried when you left my nest Bird in the sky I now see you so infrequently I know you would rather be with your friends Bird flying with friends I miss you I love to hear you sing I'm tempted to hold unto you and tell you not to go I need to let you grow I hide my tears I have memories of you to cherish of all these years I let go and let you fly I hope you know I will always be here if you need me I hope you know how much I love you My bird soar to new heights My bird fly I will look to the sky and watch you from afar Fly my bird fly glide across the sky
