Any Day Now (My Wild Beautiful Bird)

Chuck Jackson

(Words and Music by Bob Hilliard and Burt Bacharach)

Any day now I will hear you say “Goodbye, my love”

And you’ll be on your way

Then my wild beautiful bird, you will have flown, oh

Any day now I’ll be all alone, whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa

Any day now, when your restless eyes meet someone new

Oh, to my sad surprise

Then the blue shadows will fall all over town, oh

Any day now love will let me down, whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa

Instrumental interlude

Oh my wild beautiful bird, you will have flown, oh

Any day now I’ll be all alone

I know I shouldn’t want to keep you

If you don’t want to stay-ay

Until you go forever

I’ll be holding on for dear life

Holding you this way

Begging you to stay

Any day now when the clock strikes “Go”

You’ll call it off

And then my tears will flow

Then the blue shadows will fall all over town, oh

Any day now love will let me down cuz you won’t be around

Don’t fly away, my beautiful bird

Don’t, don’t fly away
