Well love's a bird in flight
She'll leave you if you let her
Don't hold too tight
For you'll break her in your hands

It's neither wrong or right
Nor is it worse or better
And she's so hard to forgive
But it's harder to forget her

When you've loved so long
It gets so hard to know
If your love's still strong
Or if you need to let it go
It's neither right or wrong
There's just one thing that I know

Love's a bird in flight
She'll leave you if you let her
Don't hold too tight
For you'll break her in your hands

She's been dancing with your heart
Since the very day you met her
And she's so hard to resist
But it's harder to regret her

So find a love that's true
That can't be bought or sold
Find a love brand new
Even when it's grey and old
I can't tell you what to do
There's just one thing I've been told

Well love's a bird in flight
And she'll be flying free forever
Try as you might
You'll never catch her in your hands
She may stay with you tonight
Or she'll leave you with the feathers

And she's so hard to forgive
But it's harder to forget her
She's so hard to resist
But it's harder to regret her
And I've loved every day
But I wish I'd never met her
