The refrain from this song was given to me in a dream in which The Beatles were playing it. I believe George Harrison was singing lead. I woke up and wrote the rest of the words and music. This is the second song I've written that was given to me by a popular artist in a dream. The first was Look At The Sun, with Ronnie James Dio singing the refrain. As far as I know, neither artist ever wrote or sang these songs in real life. Lyrics:

Bye, Bye Bird

You want to spread your wings and fly
Away from me across the sky
You want to soar so very high
So high it makes the eagles cry

And it’s not for me to make you stay
Just leave me here alone to say

Chorus:
Bye, bye bird
Bye, bye bird, 
Bye, bye bird

And here I stay upon the ground
Without your love to be around
I watch you fade beyond the clouds
I’m left behind among the crowds

Of those who cannot comprehend
Why love like ours could ever end

Chorus:
Bye, bye bird
Bye, bye bird, 
Bye, bye bird

Bridge:
How can the sky be so unkind
To claim the love I thought was mine?
If only I had wings to fly
To soar along with graceful birds
No need to utter useless words
That only binds me to the ground below
The air would lift me past the doubts
Concealed among the endless clouds
No need for me to cry aloud…..

Chorus:
Bye, bye bird
Bye, bye bird
Bye, bye bird




Bye, Bye Bird

I had a dream that Ronnie James Dio was singing the refrain to this song, "Look at, look at, the sun, my friend!" I woke up and wrote the rest of the lyrics and music. One of the coolests gifts I ever got, I had the dream several months after Dio passed away. Lyrics:

Look At The Sun

Look at the weeds, they're golden today!
Look at the clouds, they're silver- not grey
Look at the lightning, it's lighting the way
Listen to the thunder, it's got something to say

Refrain
Look at, look at the sun, my friend!

Shedding the tears, they’re relieving for you
To look at the sky, now soothingly blue
Feeling the rain, it's quenching the new
Thirsting grass with crystals of dew

Refrain
Look at, look at the sun, my friend!

Bridge
Look at the dark- it enhances the light
Look at the light- it brightens the night
Look at the night- it gives rest to the sun
Look at the sun, look at the sun!

Look at! Look at!

Verse
Look at the moon, it's smiling its cheer
Look at the far that soon will be near
Look at sea, it's greeting with waves
You have been lost but now have been saved

Refrain
Look at, look at the sun my friend!
Look at, look at the sun my friend!
Look at, look at the sun my friend!


Look At The Sun

It's something that makes me want to cover my eyes
Plug up my ears, suck my thumb as I cry
They say it's unnatural and I wanna believe that it's true
But if it got me first, I'd believe something new!
Well, it's worse than Godzilla, doesn't bark at the moon
And I wish you'd be careful it don't get to you soon.....
(Refrain)
The Beast That Ate Dennis
It's a horrible menace

I once loved this thing with eyes of deep blue
I loved it so long and I loved it so true
But love wasn't enough, didn't want my tender care
And soon came the day when it was no longer there
It was out stalking someone. Dennis was the cursed name
And after the feast, I gave up trying to tame......
(Refrain)
The Beast That Ate Dennis
It's a horrible menace
The Beast That Ate Dennis
(Bridge)
Well, it walks on two legs when it's not up to its tricks
Then it makes you scream with its bloody red lips- its bloody red lips!

Where is my garlic? Where is my cross?
Where is the sweet love I have now lost?
Well, it ripped out my heart 'cause it sure aint no lady
Stole all I believe in and now nothing can save me
(Refrain)
From The Beast That Ate Dennis
It's a horrible menace
The Beast That Ate Dennis (repeats)
