Let you leave that day
Let you walk out on by
Breaking up would pay
But you had far more pride
And if I could give, would God accept me
Tried so hard to live, oh why
And did you have to go out of my life?
Never got the chance to say goodbye
You flew away, you flew away
You left, you flew away, this heart it aches
Oh babe, you flew away and I cry
I pray each night to God
(Tell me why)
Did you fly away? Hey
Woah, baby
(Tell me why)
Why, why did you fly away? Hey
Sat along the bay
Watched the stars in the sky
Seems like yesterday
That you were by my side
And if I could give, would you still want me?
And would you forgive, oh why
Did you have to go out of my life?
Never got the chance to say goodbye
You flew away, you flew away
You left, you flew away, this heart it aches
Oh babe, you flew away and I cry
I pray each night to God
You flew away, you flew away
You left, you flew away, this heart it aches
Oh babe, you flew away and I cry
I pray each night to God
Why you wanna fly? Yeah
(Why'd ya fly?)
Why you wanna fly away?
Why you wanna fly? Yeah
(Why'd ya fly?)
Listen now baby, baby
Why, why, why did you fly away?
Hey, oh baby
(Tell me, why)
Tell me why, tell me why
Did you fly away? Hey
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Why'd ya fly, why'd ya fly, why'd ya fly?
[Incomprehensible] baby, baby
[Incomprehensible] baby, baby
Why'd ya fly?
