I caught a gentle bird
whose wings were bent and broken
One rainy day
I saw it fall to earth
along my way
It needed me
It hurt so desperately

But I began to know
Though I had loved it so
I'd have to let it go someday

You came to me like that
Your heart was disappointed
Somebody else
had made you hurt you inside
I heard you say

You could not feel
You needed time to heal
But I began to know
Though have I loved you so,
I'd have to let you go someday

And now you don't need me anymore
You're strong and assured
And I can't help but know
Though I have loved you so
I'll have to let you go
And I can't help but know
Though I have loved you so

I'll have to you go, I
I'll have to let you
let you go, let you go, let you go, let you go
Let you go
