Fly, Fly Away Lyrics by Kerry Butler

Catch Me If You Can (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2011

[BRENDA]
When I was a child my eyes were clear
I saw the good side
That's the kind of second sight
That doesn't last too long
But when I was lost
I heard a voice that brought me healing
That's the kind of special hope
He brought me with his song
People only saw the doctor, lawyer, Indian chief
But he was just a lonely little boy to me
With his sweet and gentle touch
He sure unlocked my soul
So in return
I surely want to help to set him free
Yeah, now I wanna see him fly, fly
I'll be your alibi, my baby
Fly, fly, fly away
We didn't get to say goodbye, goodbye
No need to tell me why, my baby
Maybe it's because you'll fly back home to me
One day
LADIES:
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, aah
[BRENDA & (LADIES)]
Men who they call real were really fakes
Who left me nothing (Ooh)
But this man you call a fake
Gave me something real (Aah, aah, ooh)
I've known cruel, cruel men
With Christian names who taught me manners
But this man without a name (Ooh)
Taught me how to feel (Aah, aah)
They only saw the magic tricks (Ooh)
The smoke and mirrors (Ooh)
Was I the only one to ever see the boy? (Aah)
So now they want to clip his precious wings (Aah)
And bring him down (Bring him down, aah)
But in his heart and soul's (Ooh)
The kind of good they can't destroy
So now I wanna see him fly, fly (Fly)
I'll be your alibi, my baby
Fly, fly, fly away (Fly away)
We didn't get to say goodbye, goodbye (Goodbye)
No need to tell me why, my baby
Maybe it's because you'll fly back home to me (Maybe it's because)
One day
Baby, when you're in the clouds (Aah)
Please keep a lookout (Ooh)
Maybe, darling, find a hideaway (Aah)
For you and I, you and I (Ooh, ooh)
Now I’ll see him fly, fly (Fly, fly)
I’ll be your alibi my baby
Fly, fly, fly away (Fly, fly, fly away)
We didn't get to say goodbye, goodbye (Goodbye)
No need to tell me why, my baby
Maybe it's because you'll fly back home to me
One day (Ooh, aah)
Maybe it's because you'll fly back home to me
One day (Aah, ooh)
Maybe it's because you'll fly back home to me
One day (Ooh)
And I'll be waiting for you there (Ooh)
You'll fly back home to me one day (Ooh)
(Fly, fly away)
