Tonight My Heart She Is Crying (Love Is a Bird) - Solomon Burke

Love is a bird that spreads its wings

And flies away

Love is a bird that spreads its wings

And flies away

Tonight my heart will be cryin'

Tonight my heart will be sad

Tonight the wind will be sighin'

For the love that I once had

The moon is there in the sky above

But not the way it was before

My woman’s eyes filled with shining love

Cannot see me anymore

Love is a bird that spreads its wings

And flies away

Love is a bird that spreads its wings

And flies away

My woman’s heart is like a diamond stone

So very beautiful but cold

My woman’s heart is like a diamond stone

So very beautiful but cold

Tonight my heart will be cryin'

There is no happiness for me

Tonight my dreams will be dyin'

Just like the ripples on the sea

Love is a bird that spreads its wings

And flies away

Love is a bird that spreads its wings

And flies away

I made the future, I tried to plan

And just when everything seemed right

My woman left me for another man

And now my heart will cry tonight

Love is a bird that spreads its wings

And flies away

Love is a bird that spreads its wings

And flies away…
