Lyrics
Fly Away
Music & Lyrics by Howard Pollard
I count the days on my own you're away and I wait for you
I dream of your face I'm asleep I'm awake with you
Imagine if you were here
Imagine if I could just reach out
Oh just to hear your voice
Fly away, fly away home X 2
Till you see my eyes
Some days are so long think I'll write another song while I miss you
While you're gone I'm only so strong when I miss you
Wishing you were here
Hours sometimes seem like days
How long must we wait
Fly away, fly away home X 2
Till you see my eyes
I try to take my mind off you
But when I close my eyes you're in the room
It's times like these spread your wings and fly to me
Your voice on the phone's not the same as at home when you're close to me
Having you near there's no pain there's no fear when you're close to me
I wish I could just turn around
Touch your face and pull you near
Oh just to have you here
Chorus X 2
