(verse)
D A Bm
When I would play my song
G D A
You used to sing along.
D A Bm
I always seem to forget
G A D
How fragile are the very strong.
D A Bm
I'm sorry I can't steal you
G D A
I'm sorry I can't stay
D Bbm Bm
So I put band-aids on your knees
G A D
And watch you fly away
G Bm A D
I'm sending you away tonight
G Bm A
I'll put you on a bird's strong wing
G Bm A D
I'm saving you the best way I know how
G A D
I hope again one day to hear you sing
(verse)
You know we're not so far away
Get on a boat, get on a train
And if you ever think you're drowning
I'll try to slow the rain
In two years or so
Drop me a line
Write me a letter
I hope to find you're doing better, better than today, better everyday
(Chorus)
I'm sending you away tonight
I'll put you on a bird's strong wing
I'm saving you the best way I know how
I hope again one day to hear you sing
I'm saving you the only way that I know how
I hope again one day to hear you sing
G Bbm Bm D G D
I hope again one day to see you bring your smile back around again
