Why can't I fly no more? Who's crushed my wings?
What's wrong that I'm so low?
Why can't I fly no more? What pain love brings,
That chokes my spirit so.

When I was young, how easy then,
To fly for ever and a day -
How real one's dreams at seven.
When first we met I flew again,
And at our feet the whole world lay -
Each kiss a taste of heaven.

Why can't I fly no more? ...

What broke the spell, brought you to earth,
And left me trapped inside  your cage? -
Some pen to coop your love in?
Did you believe that's all I'm worth,
Some minor part on your small stage?
How sad a world you live in.

Why can't I fly no more? ...
