Little Wing Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro (0:00 - 0:50)]

[Verse 1]
Well, she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running around
Butterflies and zebras and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about

[Verse 2]
And when I'm sad, she comes to me
A thousand smiles she gives to me free
Said it's all right, take anything you want from me
(Anything you want, babe) (Anything)

[Instrumental Bridge (1:54 - 3:06)]

[Verse 1]
Well, she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running around
Butterflies and zebras and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about

[Verse 2]
And when I'm sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles she gives to me free
Said it's all right, take anything you want from me, baby
(Anything you want) (Anything)
[Outro]
Whoo
Fly on little wing
Baby, baby
Fly on

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
