One Day I'll Fly Away Lyrics

I make it alone
When love is gone
Still you made your mark
Here in my heart

One day I'll fly away
Leave your love to yesterday
What more can your love do for me
When will love be through with me

I follow the night
Can't stand the light
When will I begin
My life again

One Day I'll fly away
Leave your love to yesterday
What more can your love do for me
When will love be through with me
Why live life from dream to dream
And dread the day that dreaming ends

One day I'll fly away leave your love to yesterday
What more can your love do for me
When will love be through with me
Why live life from dream to dream
And dread the day that dreaming ends

One day i'll fly away, fly away, fly away (repeat to fade)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think she's remembering an impossible love affair, and just wants to be free of the memories so she can move on. "why live life from dream to dream and dread the day that dreaming ends." This is one of my Husbands "memory songs" I discovered a whole load of these "miss you" songs a while back. He had an affair with someone he fell madly in love with, but because they were both married, it couldn't carry on, and now all he has left are these songs............ Oh, and me, the booby prize!!!!

@claddagh1956 He chose you though, and it doesn't mean he doesn't love you. I can't imagine doing that, but sometimes people do, sadly. I'm sorry you're hurting.

I think I know exactly what this song is about because I am experiencing it with my ex partner right now. She is telling herself that she will make it on her own eventually but is still in love and is struggling to let go at the moment but one day she will move on and get past the hurt (One day I'll fly away, Leave your love to yesterday).

It's a wonderful song but makes me sad.
