Corrinne May - Fly Away

A friend recommended me this song. A song written by a fellow Singaporean. A song about Mother's Love. And surprisingly a song that I heard before and really liked it. With all these pop songs whose lyrics don't make a sense, whenever I happen to chance upon such beautifully written piece of art, I am especially ecstatic. Plus her voice was so serene, that I become totally smitten =D.

Here’s the beautiful lyrics :

Corrinne May - Fly Away
From the album "Fly Away"

"When will you be home?" she asks
as we watch the planes take off
We both know we have no clear answer to where my dreams may lead
She's watched me as i crawled and stumbled
As a child, she was my world
And now to let me go, I know she bleeds
and yet she says to me

You can fly so high
Keep your gaze upon the sky
I'll be prayin every step along the way
Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart
I love you too much to make you stay
Baby fly away

Autumn leaves fell into spring time and
SIlver-painted hair
Daddy called one evening saying
"We need you. Please come back"
When I saw her laying in her bed
Fragile as a child
Pale just like an angel taking flight
I held her as I cried

You can fly so high
Keep your gaze upon the sky
I'll be prayin every step along the way
Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart
I love you too much to make you stay
Baby fly away
ohh...
I love you too much to make you stay
Baby fly away
