TRY YOUR WINGS

If you've never been in love,
And you're longing for the happiness it brings,
Try your wings!
If you're hungry for the sound
Of a lover saying sentimental things,
Try your wings!

Even the tiniest bluebird
Has to leave its nest to fly!
What a bluebird can do
You can do too,
If you try!

If you've always had a dream,
But you've been afraid that it would not come true
Hitherto,
Fall in love and you will find
That it's just what you've been dreaming of!

A first love never comes twice,
So take this tender advice;
When it comes, try your wings,
And fly to the one you love!

If you've always had a dream,
But you've been afraid that it would not come true
Hitherto,
Fall in love and you will find
That it's just what you've been dreaming of!

A first love never comes twice,
So take this tender advice;
When it comes, try your wings,
And fly to the one you love!
