One, two, three, like a bird, I sing
'Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
And I'm so glad you're here today
'Cause tomorrow I might have to go and fly away
(Hey!)When I'm down to my last dollar
I walk right through my shoes
Just a small reminder
Of the hell that I've gone through
But look at me still smiling
'Cause I'm wondering what I'll do
Since I ain't got nothing
I got nothing to lose
Everybody say: ha ha ha, ha ha ha
My friends are always giving me
Watches, hats, and wine
That's how I know this is serious
That's how I know it's time
I don't have to worry about things that I don't have
'Cause if I ain't got nothing
I got nothing to hold me back[Chorus]
And one, two, three, like a bird, I sing
'Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
And I'm so glad you're here today
'Cause tomorrow I might have to go and fly away
Fly away, fly away
Fly away, fly awayThere's nothing that's worth keeping me
From places I should go
From Happy-ville to Loving-land
I'm gonna tour from coast to coast
I'm leaving everything behind
There's not much that I need
'Cause If I ain't got nothing
I'm foot-loose and fancy-freeAnd one, two, three, like a bird, I sing
'Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
And I'm so glad you're here today
'Cause tomorrow I might have to go and fly away
Fly away, fly away
Fly away, fly awayLook at me so free
Nothing's holding me down (down)
Look at me so free
Can't keep my feet on the groundOne, two, three, like a bird, I sing
'Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
And I'm so glad you're here today
'Cause tomorrow I might have to go andOne, two, three, like a bird, I sing
'Cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings
And I'm so glad you're here today
'Cause tomorrow I might have to go and fly away
Fly away, fly away
Fly away, fly awayFly away!(Fly Away)One, two, three, like a bird, I sing
'Cause you giving me the most beautiful set of wings
One, two, three, like a bird, I sing
'Cause you giving me the most beautiful set of wings
One, two, three, like a bird, I sing
'Cause you giving me the most beautiful set of wings
One, two, three, like a bird, I sing
'Cause you giving me the most beautiful set of wings
