Saw you flying by
 Flash of Turquoise Blue
 I just had to try
 To keep your life in view 

 My bird of paradise
 Sweet bird of paradise 

 Wish that I could fly
 I'd be beside you now
 But I can only sigh
 And watch you circle round 

 My bird of paradise
 Sweet bird of paradise
 My bird of paradise
 Sweet bird of paradise
 My bird of paradise 

 So you fly away
 When will [bad word] again
 So I can watch you play 
 In the pouring rain 

 My bird of paradise
 Sweet bird of paradise
 My bird of paradise
 Sweet bird of paradise
 My bird of paradise
