Lyrics

She Flew Too Close to the Sun

She told the moon it was him she loved
but in the morning declared
that it was the sun that she dug
The moon was just an old lover

The sun was the new light in her life
But when the sun was going down
and the moon could not be seen
She fooled around like a beauty queen

She flew too close to the sun
Her wings melted and she fell
Swirling down down so long
The spell broken by the ground

She’s a wife and a mother now
When the kids are tucked in and the moon’s away
she remembers how it was to fly
Soaring with grace so high

Her kids don’t know who she was
Don’t know how high she could fly
Only see the woman who hugs
and loves them now

She flew too close to the sun
Her wings melted and she fell
Swirling down down so long
The spell broken by the ground

She flew too close to the sun
Her wings melted and she fell
Swirling down down so long
The spell broken by the ground
