lyrics

Birds Fly to Heaven
By Forrest Hill

I love you like the gentle sun
In the dawning sky
Pink against the pillow clouds
Anchored in my mind
The world turns bright from black to blue
And birds fly to heaven over you

I love you in the morning mist
Perched against the sky
Walking through a silent field
Strolling out of time
A tender kiss in the morning dew
And birds fly to heaven over you

Life is short
And there’s gold in our souls
Everything about you
Makes me feel so whole
Makes my spirit flow
Likes birds flying home

Geese in the clear blue sky
Announce your name in song
Touching this old wounded heart
Righting every wrong
The world turns bright from black to blue
And birds fly to heaven over you
A tender kiss in the morning dew
And birds fly to heaven over you
