Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - I'll Search The Sky

Soft and lonely why did you leave my side
Frightened one why did you run and hide
and now I know that I'm not wanted, no
I could wait for a thousand years if I could be sure you'd return
when you came to me I took you in
insecure and frightened you were then
but now you don't need me no longer, no
like a bird who has never flown but you're doing it well I can see
if you say goodbye you know that I would have to make you stay
so I will search the sky and hope to catch a glimpse of you someday

I'm the one who taught you how to laugh
since you learned you've taught me how to cry
and now it seems that I'm the one in need
for someone to help me and I only wish it could be you
if you say goodbye you know that I would have to make you stay
so I will search the sky and hope to catch a glimpse of you someday
