(Bacharach/David)
Message to Michael

Spread your wings for New Orleans
Kentucky blue bird, fly away
And take a message to Michael
message to Michael
He sings each night in some cafe
in his search to find wealth and fame
I hear Michael has gone and changed his name

It's a year since he wasn't here
kentucky blue bird, fly away
And take a message to Michael
message to Michael
tell him I miss him more each day
As his train pulled out down the track
Michael promised he'd soon be coming back
(From: http://www.elyrics.net)

Oh tell him how my heart just breaks in two
Since he journeyed far
and even though his dream of fame
fell through
to me he will always be a star

Spread your wings for New Orleans
Kentucky blue bird, fly away
And take a message to Michael
message to Michael
ask him to start for home today
when you find him please let him know
rich or poor
I will always love him so

Fly away, Kentucky bluebird
Fly away, Kentucky bluebird
Fly away
fly away (fade out)
