One day I'll fly awayLeave your love to yesterdayWhat more can your love do for me?When will love be through with me?
Why live life from dream to dream?And dread the day that dreaming ends?
One day I'll fly awayLeave your love to yesterdayWhat more can your love do for me?When will love be through with me?
Why live life from dream to dream?And dread the day that dreaming ends?
One day I'll fly awayFly away
One day I'll fly awayFly away
Fly away
