Well love's a bird in flight She'll leave you if you let her Don't hold too tight For you'll break her in your hands It's neither wrong or right Nor is it worse or better And she's so hard to forgive But it's harder to forget her When you've loved so long It gets so hard to know If your love's still strong Or if you need to let it go It's neither right or wrong There's just one thing that I know Love's a bird in flight She'll leave you if you let her Don't hold too tight For you'll break her in your hands She's been dancing with your heart Since the very day you met her And she's so hard to resist But it's harder to regret her So find a love that's true That can't be bought or sold Find a love brand new Even when it's grey and old I can't tell you what to do There's just one thing I've been told Well love's a bird in flight And she'll be flying free forever Try as you might You'll never catch her in your hands She may stay with you tonight Or she'll leave you with the feathers And she's so hard to forgive But it's harder to forget her She's so hard to resist But it's harder to regret her And I've loved every day But I wish I'd never met her
