Eagle

Lyrics

Eagle © 2010 I saw an eagle fly today, it reminded me of you Last I saw one floating by, was the day that you came due. I took it as a sign, that you'd grow up big and strong, But the Lord had other plans for you and soon he took you home. I remember thinkin' at the time, I'll never last a day But as the years keep rolling by, I see you everytime, I see an eagle fly I saw a butterfly today, it reminded me of you We'd go out in the backyard and you'd chase 'em round and you Would be laughing all the while, like you were the only child Who knew that secret pleasure, on a precious sunny day I remember thinkin' at the time, without you I'd be done But as the years keep rolling by, I see you everytime, I see a butterfly BRIDGE Last night I had a crazy dream, and you were there. You ran and jumped into my arms, and hugged my neck You said I love you daddy, I remembered how it felt I opened up my smilin' eyes and looked up high I saw an eagle fly Sometimes in late September, when north wind starts to blow And leaves are flyin' all around, like a million butterflies, I can't help myself, I know I promised not to cry But every one of them looks like a day , a day without your smile Then I get down on my knees and pray, Pray to God most every day, Pray that when I look up to the sky, I'll see an eagle fly
