On the Wings of a Silverbird Lyrics

I know that I've stayed away for too long
I've missed the sweet love you give me
No other woman could warm me inside
I need you much more
Than I realized.
On the wings of a silverbird
I'm flying home to you
On the wings of a silverbird
I'll soon be holding you.
So wipe all those tears away
I'm coming home to stay
Get ready my love
Just look up above
For the wings of a silverbird.
You send me letters to help time go by
I call your name while I'm dreaming.
I need to feel you I long for your touch
I wanna tell you
I love you so much.
On the wings ...
I'll keep your picture
To kiss and say good night
But I wanna hold you forever.
So wipe all those tears away
I'm coming home to stay
Get ready my love
Just look up above
For the wings of a silverbird.
So wipe all those tears away
I'm coming home to stay
Get ready my love
Just look up above
For the wings of a silverbird.

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.
