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)
