On The Wings Of A Silverbird

Engelbert Humperdinck · Other Songs - Engelbert Humperdinck

I know that I've stayed away for too long

I've missed the sweet love you give me

No other woman could warm me inside

I need you much more

Than I realized.

On the wings of a silverbird

I'm flying home to you

On the wings of a silverbird

I'll soon be holding you.

So wipe all those tears away

I'm coming home to stay

Get ready my love

Just look up above

For the wings of a silverbird.

You send me letters to help time go by

I call your name while I'm dreaming.

I need to feel you I long for your touch

I wanna tell you

I love you so much.

On the wings ...

I'll keep your picture

To kiss and say good night

But I wanna hold you forever.

So wipe all those tears away

I'm coming home to stay

Get ready my love

Just look up above

For the wings of a silverbird.

So wipe all those tears away

I'm coming home to stay

Get ready my love

Just look up above

For the wings of a silverbird.
