It hasn't been that long since time would flash-bulb burst And burn off into the sun Now the days just seem to drag on (These days just seem to drag on) And I can't say it was easy To miss you like I do When time missed is time in lieu You can't take that back, can you? I wish you and I could both just fly away (Fly away!) To a place where no one else could reach us (No one else could...) Like when I was young Just know my heart won't sway If you can't clip your wings and stay We'll meet again above the stars and soar like turtle doves When my time is up So now the smoke left on my clothes is all I've got To hold a feeling that I thought that I had lost And I can't say it's been easy To hit the southside in the summer time But I drop by every time I still drop by every time I still drop by every time I wish you and I could both just fly away (Fly away!) To a place where no one else could reach us (No one else could...) Like when I was young Just know my heart won't sway If you can't clip your wings and stay We'll meet again above the stars and soar like turtle doves When my time is up
