When I would play my song   You used to sing along   I always seem to forget   How fragile are the very strong      I'm sorry I can't steal you   I'm sorry I can't stay   So I'll put band-aids on your knees   And watch you fly away      I'm sending you away tonight   I'll put you on a bird's strong wing   I'm saving you the best way I know how   I hope again one day to hear you sing      You know we're not so far away   Get on a boat, get on a train   And if you ever think you're drowning   I'll try to slow the rain      In two years or so   Drop me a line, write me a letter   I hope to find you're doing better   Better than today, better everyday      I'm sending you away tonight   I'll put you on a bird's strong wing   I'm saving you the best way I know how   I hope again one day to hear you sing      I'm saving you the only way that I know how   I hope again one day to hear you sing   I hope again one day to see you   Bring your smile back around again
