A song about unconditional love....so often aspired to...so seldom achieved....
Thank you John...for being my melody...and my voice...:)
Spread Your Wings D.Rulliere/J.Kenney © 2012
Long ago when I was young
I thought that I could love somebody
Just by holding on
But now I've seen your smiling eyes
I realize I was wrong
There's one thing that I know
I never want that lovely gaze to lose its tender glow
And if love means letting go
Then I can't bind you to me ...even with a thread of gold
So spread your wings
Oh spread your wings
The only way to hold you is to untie all the strings
Fly for me
Oh fly for me
As long as I can see you fly
Your smile is all I need
Now at last I understand
The only way of loving you is with this open hand
It's your smile that keeps me strong
A bird kept in a gilded cage will only sing sad songs
So spread your wings
Oh spread your wings
I know I have to free you if I want to hear you sing
Fly for me
Oh fly for me
As long as I can see you fly
Your smile is all I need
So spread your wings
Oh spread your wings
The only way to hold you is to untie all the strings
Fly for me
Oh fly for me
As long as I can see you fly
Your smile is all I need
