_ _ _ always had a big imagination.

_ _ _ This morning as I watched a bird just spread [Am] its wings and fly, [C] it was then a thought came
over me and I [G] wondered why [C] can't I?
Oh [G] why, oh [C] why can't I?

much I'd [C] save on [F] shoes alone.

But I'd [G] always come [C] right back. _ _ _ _ _
