Lyrics
Bird
© 2001, Brenton Hund
1. Imagine if five years ago I could have seen into the future
and said see that cute girl standing there
the one with the short brown hair
five years from now she'll say goodbye to me
and be crying hopelessly
she'll say when she remembers Charlottesville
she'll remember me
2. I could have looked ahead to see time go by so rapidly
in a couple days we'd fall in love and I'd thank all the stars above
we'd see so many things and I'd pick out diamond rings
but the hardest part how could I know would be letting go
Chorus: So long Bird have a good time
spread your wings, spread your wings
and as I sit here and think about things I find
you left a song on my mind
Rest easy all regrets
life has her secrets
funny after all these years
you're just a melody
Bridge: Lay me down to sleep,
years are tears I weep.
Lay me down to sleep,
years are tears I weep.
[flute solo]
3. That first night I said hello seems like lifetimes ago
and if I could have told my friend exactly how it all would end
I'd still turn to you and say hello just like I did that day
and do it all, I?d do it all over again
Chorus: So long Bird have a good time
spread your wings, spread your wings
and as I sit here and think about things I find
you left a song on my mind
Rest easy all regrets
life has her secrets
funny after all these years
you're just a melody baby
Rest easy all regrets
life has her secrets
funny after all these years
you're just a melody
