Saw you flying by
Flash of Turquoise Blue
I just had to try
To keep your life in view.

My bird of paradise
Sweet bird of paradise.

Wish that I could fly
I'd be beside you now
But I can only sigh
And watch you circle round.

My bird of paradise
Sweet bird of paradise
My bird of paradise
Sweet bird of paradise
My bird of paradise.

So you fly away
When will you come again?
So I can watch you play
In the pouring rain.

My bird of paradise
Sweet bird of paradise
My bird of paradise
Sweet bird of paradise
My bird of paradise.
