When I was 16, so eager and green,
I searched for the bell, the bong.
so often I feared that I'd be alone after all.
Night after night I hid from the light
Until you appeared at my side
You took my hand and you told of a land
Where I would have nothing to hide
Some old day, some sweet day
I'm gonna bid you goodbye
Some old day, some sweet day
I'm gonna take wings and fly
I'm gonna take wings and fly
We are turning left to Park
but I never could find the way in
Smile disguised the hole in your eyes
Where the door to your heart
Some old day, some sweet day
I'm gonna bid you goodbye
Some old day, some sweet day
I'm gonna take wings and fly
I'm gonna take wings and fly
When I look in the mirror,
Your breath turns my collar to twine
there's just empty ground
There's no one's reflection but mine
But some sweet day, for life fades away
A hand will be offered to me
Not stiff and utturned, callous nor burned
But gentle, lovely and free
I'm gonna bid you goodbye
I'm gonna take wings and fly
