Fly

 Fly, fly little wing
Fly beyond imagining.
The softest cloud, the whitest dove
Upon the wind of heaven's love
Past the planets and the stars
Leave this lonely world of ours
Escape the sorrow and the pain
And fly again.

Fly, fly precious one
Your endless journey has begun.
Take your gentle happiness
Far too beautiful for this
Cross over to the other shore
There is peace forevermore
But hold this mem'ry bittersweet
Until we meet.

Fly, fly do not fear
Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear.
Your heart is pure, your soul is free
Be on your way, don't wait for me.
Above the universe you'll climb
On beyond the hands of time.
The moon will rise, the sun will set
But I won't forget.

Jean-Jacques Goldman
Phil Galdston
