Birds of Paradise lyrics

I wrote a letter to you my friend

So many letters that I never send

I think about you at the day's end

The time that we had

I laughed in my bed

The stupid things you said

We were two birds of paradise

When I was a little girl

With clay horses and lambs on the shelf

I caught frogs in ditches, listened for elves

My friends and I had a world unto ourselves

No grownups could find us when we

Made our plans so secretly

To run away and fly to be

With the two birds of paradise

Now once upon a time my mind still there wanders

Back in the room the things I remember

One time when we took off our clothes

But you were cryin', cryin'

You said nothing lasts forever

We were happy together

I thought about you in Stockholm and Rome

Me in my hotel room, you in your home

This is the life they say that

Dreams are made of, don't forget

Please do forgive me

I still have something you did give me

Come into my dream with me and dream

Please don't forget

Do forgive me

I still have something you did give me

Come into my dream with me and dream

Oh, dream of paradise
