Best english song lyrics The Beatles – Blackbird
[Verse 1: Paul McCartney]
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
[Verse 2 : Paul McCartney]
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
[Chorus: Paul McCartney]
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus: Paul McCartney]
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
[Verse 3: Paul McCartney]
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
