Lyrics:
Fly to me, oh, little sparrow
Hidin’ in your willow tree
Come and tell me all your sorrow
Won’t you lay it all down for me?
Cause I can see one lonely raindrop
Falling from your branch so high
Fly to me oh little sparrow
It hurts me so to see you cry
Cause if I’m the one who has done you wrong
Wont you tell me, come on and tell me ?
I’ll never let you be alone unless you wanna be
So won’t you fly to me
Here’s a secret, little sparrow
There’s something I can’t deny
I need you so much more than you know
Won’t you fly to me and let me tell you so?
I can’t give you sunny days for flying
And I can’t turn your grey skies blue
But darlin’ you know I’ll always be trying
To build a happy nest for you
Fly to me, oh, little sparrow
See I’m holding out my hand
Inside is all my heart for you, sweetheart
Don’t you understand
Here’s a secret, little sparrow
There’s something I can’t deny
I need you so much more than you know
Won’t you fly to me and let me tell you so?
