Fly Like A Bird

There was a howl that night A howling like they never heard before A cry so loud old granddad almost hit the door He said, "I love this child as much as any one that she ever bore, But I thank the Lord we won't be having any more." Then the baby heard the sweetest sound he'd ever heard In tones so beautiful he hung on every word She sang, "Hush, my love, granny's little dove is going to take to the sky." It was on such a night he learned to fly like a bird. Now the years have passed and memories come and go He hears that voice that rocked him gently so A calm will descend and there's peace at the end of the darkest night Sometimes I cry, sometimes I fly like a bird. Now the years have passed and memories come and go He hears that voice that rocked him gently so The rain's gonna fall and the winds may blow in the darkest night Sometimes I cry, sometimes I fly like a bird. A calm will descend and there's peace at the end of the darkest night Sometimes I cry, sometimes I fly like a bird
