Breezy, yeah

They say that you’ll be gone
Never stay too long
Won’t let love begin
And you changed like the wind
Girl I got you on my mind
Laid my heart right on the line
Like a mirror in the sky
Love’s reflecting in your eye

(Breezy)you’re so easy to love
(Breezy)you’re my high flying dove
(Breezy)don’t let love fly away
Baby stay, oh (ooh)

The wild is living free
You’re so warm to me
Love is coming on
And I feel it getting strong
Trying everyway I know
To make you never want to go
The wind that brought you here is gone
Why race back to where you belong
