lyrics

She kissed me goodbye and
Left for the city
Boarded the plane
She never looked back
Yet I still try
to picture that city
Again and again
when the sky turns black.
But she'll never come back.

Let her fly, fly away
Let her fly
I’m on my way to find my love
No one’s ever gonna catch me
I’m on my way to find my love
How could I ever let her, let her fly?

Her smile it fades
High in the sky
I sit here alone
and stare at the clouds
I know she's long gone
That don't stop me wishing
she could pick me out
From all the crowds
Turned a life into dust
Can I adjust?

Let her fly, fly away
Let her fly
I’m on my way to find my love
No one’s ever gonna catch me
I’m on my way to find my love
How could I ever let her, let her fly?

Let her fly, never never (x4)

Let her fly, fly away
Let her fly
I’m on my way to find my love
No one’s ever gonna catch me
I’m on my way to find my love
How could I ever let her, let her fly?
