Standard (EADGBE)

You’re so far away

 Why couldn’t you stay,

 ‘cause I need you now

But I hold on to you,

 ‘cause I feel that it’s true

 Do you feel it too

 Tell me babe, tell me why

I wish I were a swallow,

then I’d fly to you

I wish I were a swallow,

then I’d be with you

I’d watch you all day

 And at night when you pray,

 I’d pray with you

And in the morning you’d wake,

 as I’d sing you a tune,

 then you’d see me too

 Oh, I’m only dreaming, why

I wish I were a swallow,

then I’d fly to you

I wish I were a swallow,

then I’d be with you

I’m your dream

Don’t be shy

Spread your wings,

then you’ll fly

But I’ll wait for the day,

 when you come back to stay

 ‘Cause I need you babe

 See me crying, why

I wish I were a swallow,

then I’d fly to you

I wish I were a swallow,

then I’d be with you

I wish I were a swallow,

then I’d fly to you

I wish I were a swallow,

Then I’d be with you

Ooh ooh ooh
