1. This morning as I watched a bird
                            Am
   Just spread its wings and fly
   C/G
   It was then a thought came over me
         G7           C/G
   And I wondered why can't I ?
      G7             C/G
   Oh why,oh why can't I ?

2. If I could only fly,you see
                              Dm
   A lot of problems would be gone
   F
   When you think of just how much
       C7             F
   I'd save on shoes alone
      C7           F
   If I could only fly

3. I would never tear my clothes
                          Dm
   Climbing in and out of trees
   F
   If I could only fly,I'd never crawl
      C7               F
   Or wear holes in my knees
      C7           F
   If I could only fly

4. How I'd love to spread my wings
                         Am
   And streak across the sky
   C/G
   I'd be off to see the world
      G7           C/G
   If I could only fly

           G7                 C/G
   But I'd always come right back
