Saw you flying by
Flash of Turquoise Blue
I just had to try

To keep your life in view

My bird of paradise

Sweet bird of paradise

Wish that I could fly

I'd be beside you now
But I can only sigh
And watch you circle round


My bird of paradise
Sweet bird of paradise

My bird of paradise
Sweet bird of paradise
My bird of paradise


So you fly away
When will you come again

So I can watch you play
In the pouring rain


My bird of paradise
Sweet bird of paradise
My bird of paradise

Sweet bird of paradise
My bird of paradise
