Sweet Bird of Paradise lyrics

Love with its wings

Flies far beyond my reach

Love, hear my call

Fly closer, I beseech

Oh, fly to me (oh, fly to me)

Sweet bird of Paradise

Don't let me be

Life's empty sacrifice

Why must you be (why must you be)

Always a mystery

Oh, fly to me

Sweet bird of Paradise

Love with its wings

Flies far beyond the blue

Love, heard no call

So I cannot pursue

Farewell to thee (farewell to thee)

Sweet bird of Paradise

You've let me be

Life's empty sacrifice

Now all you'd be (now all you'd be)

Is just a memory

Farewell to thee

Sweet bird of Paradise

Love with its wings

Flies far beyond my reach

Love, hear my call

Fly closer, I beseech

Oh, fly to me (oh, fly to me)

Sweet bird of Paradise

Don't let me be

Life's empty sacrifice

Why must you be (why must you be)

Always a mystery

Oh, fly to me

Sweet bird of Paradise

Love with its wings

Flies far beyond the blue

Love, heard no call

So I cannot pursue

Farewell to thee (farewell to thee)

Sweet bird of Paradise

You've let me be

Life's empty sacrifice

Now all you'd be (now all you'd be)

Is just a memory

Farewell to thee

Sweet bird of Paradise
