any day now my wild beautiful bird

Burt Bacharach

Any day now I will hear you say Goodbye, my love
And you ll be on your way
Then my wild beautiful bird, you will have flown, oh
Any day now I ll be all alone, whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa

Any day now, when your restless eyes meet someone new
Oh, to my sad surprise
Then the blue shadows will fall all over town, oh
Any day now love will let me down, whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa

<brief instrumental interlude>

Oh my wild beautiful bird, you will have flown, oh
Any day now I ll be all alone

I know I shouldn t want to keep you
If you don t want to stay-ay
Until you go forever
I ll be holding on for dear life
Holding you this way
Begging you to stay

Any day now when the clock strikes Go
You ll call it off
And then my tears will flow
Then the blue shadows will fall all over town, oh
Any day now love will let me down cuz you won t be around

Don t fly away, my beautiful bird
Don t, don t fly away
