lyrics

A familiar face walked into the exam room
She had called upon my time once before
A woman of many years, with a pup that couldn't lift her head
And I raised her in a basket on my bedroom floor

My heart says it's time to fly

This time she came in with one that was just a few weeks of age
Feeling guilty because she had lost track
She let the front door go, and before she knows
it slammed into him and broke his back in half

My heart says it's time to fly

She said to me son, I am sorry for all my crying
But can you do one thing for me
I said, ma'am I'm sorry but this something we have to do
You have my word that it is for the best
Now lean you ear to him softly, and closely
He wants to say this with his last breath

My heart says it's time to fly
