Text: Marty Robbins. 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
Sweet bird of Paradise
Don't let me be
Life's empty sacrifice

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
Sweet bird of Paradise
You've let me be
Life's empty sacrifice

Now all you'd be
Is just a memory
Farewell to thee
Sweet bird of Paradise
