[Chorus] Yeah to keep our love together baby Oh baby how I tried You know it wasn't it wasn't easy, it wasn't easy As a bird flying in the sky Oh it hurt me it yes it hurt me When I had to shake your hand and say good bye [Verse 1] Well you know if you had asked me I would have climbed a mountain high You know it all tied up and my foot slipping You know my body might die You know I was doin' the dumb things for you baby But kiss you and say goodbye I can't say it Johnny, I can't leave her Oh to lose you baby You know it hurt me awful bad Oh you the best woman Best little girl I ever had Well you know for you to be leaving me this morning little girl I'm going to always be lonely and sad [Chorus] Yeah to keep our love together Oh baby how I tried Well you know it wasn't easy, but was is easy As the bird that flies in the sky You know when I had to kiss and shake your hand little girl And baby, and said goodbye
