Name: Bird in the Sky
Duration: P00H04M14S
Description: Written based on a melody given to me by my best friend Dr. Dionysios Anninos at Harvard. I wrote this about a time when he and I were living together at Cornell and I took his shoes and spent the night in a graveyard. The bird in the sky part he actually wrote to say "In this five dollar buffet, in this stripjoint." I just changed the lyrics around to fit Tess, the girl I'm in love with :)

lyrics

Bird in the Sky
© 2011 Nathan Windsor

Last night I borrowed
Your new yellow shoes
Wanting to know
What it’s like to be you

I must apologize
If you cannot find the pair
I watched the sunrise
Danced in the morning air

Just needed them to remind

CHORUS:
How beautiful you are
When you’re dancing
So light on your toes
Nobody knows
How beautiful you are
When you’re dancing
The way that you fly
Bird in the sky
Bird in the sky

Let’s go to town
You and I will share the night
All the city sounds
Will make us feel alright

Let’s hope the DJ
Let’s us hear our favorite song
There is no way
This could ever be wrong

Just needed it to remind

BRIDGE:

Just you and me
Dancing so free
Who care for tomorrow?
Put on your best
Forget the rest
We’ll dance the mambo
Even though we don’t know all the steps tonight
