I let it get away
I didn't mean to
It just up and flew away
I watched it, what a way to learn
And now I wait for its return
My little yellow bird
I used to hold it in the palm of my hand
Now I'm lonely, I am
I couldn't keep it and I love it
My little yellow bird
Blue, blue sky
I search it every day
Blue, blue sky
I looked for her
But she has gone away
My little yellow bird
I used to hold her in the palm of my hand
Now I'm a very lonely man
I couldn't keep her and I love her
My little yellow bird
My little yellow bird
