Let you leave that day

Let you walk on by

Breaking up would pay

But you had far more pride

If I could give

Would god accept me

Tried so hard to live

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

(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

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

[Chorus x 2]

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

Why'd ya fly

Why'd ya fly

Baby baby..[fade out]
