I was a little birdie flying so high
Looking for a love to share my life
When I

I found you
You were a little fishy in the deep blue sea
Making little fishy eyes at me

When I
I fell for you


You said "Come along & swim with me"
But I couldn't, cause I just can't swim you see
Oh I

Wish it weren't true
So I said "Come along & fly with me"
But you couldn't cause you don't have wings like me

Oh what to do?

(bridge)

So close & yet so far
Why is love so easy
Yet so hard


(chorus)
Oh why hi-hi-hi

Way-hey-hey
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh


So I flew to the tree of the wise old owl
And asked him if someway, somehow

I could be with you
He told me "Child, now listen please
Some things in life aren't meant to be"

Oh well, I still want you

(repeat bridge/chorus)


Well the years have past & we've both changed
But this little birdie feels the same

That's right
There's only you


You would die up here with me
And I would drown down there with you
But if it meant we'd be together

I would spend my final moments loving You (hoo-hoo-hoo)

(repeat chorus)
