A little bird flew through my window and landed so near
Its wing so soft and sweet but its little beak was open in fear
I'd like to keep you here forever
But deep inside I know
I will have to let you go
Let you go
I will have to let you go
Let you go
A little child lands in their parents' life
But we keep 'em as a loan
They will grow up so sweet but their little feet will one day walk from home
We'd like to keep 'em here forever
But deep inside we know
We will have to let them go
Let 'em go
We will have to let them go
Let 'em go
A little girl you landed in my life, but you didn't get that old
Your skin so soft and sweet but your little cheek was already cold
I'd like to keep you here forever
But deep inside I know
I will have to let you go
Let you go
I will have to let you go
Let you go
A little bird flew through my window and landed so near
