[Verse 1]
Mourning doves are building nests by my window
They’re chirping in their hideaway, safe from the rain
And I watch
Through the door
Safe inside
Wondering why
Why we can’t be friends with little birds
But then I remember
[Chorus]
That soon they will be flying away
Soon they will pack up their things and go
Once the babies learn to fly
They’ll take their dreams into the sky
I would hate to be left behind
[Verse 2]
The baby birds are growing up, doing things for themselvеs
And then there’s mе, always trying to be somewhere else
Little birds
Would you mind
If I come too?
Or maybe next time?
Oh, if only I could be that brave
I don’t think I’d be here
[Chorus]
Soon they will be flying away
Soon they will pack up their things and go
Once the babies learn to fly
They’ll take their dreams into the sky
I would hate to be left behind
[Bridge]
But what you didn’t know is
I’ve already got a place where I can go
It’s so far away and
I’m a little afraid of finally letting go
[Chorus]
‘Cause soon I will be flying away
Soon I will pack up my things and go
Once the babies learn to fly
And spring begins to light the sky
We’ll all take our dreams and learn to fly
I’m a little sad to say goodbye
