Eagle When She Flies Lyrics by Dolly Parton

0:09She's been there, god knows she's been there

0:14She has seen and done it all

0:19She's a woman, she knows how to dish it out or take it all

0:28Her heart's as soft as feathers, still she weathers stormy skies

0:37And she's a sparrow when she's broken

0:46But she's an eagle when she flies

0:55A kaleidoscope of colours, you can toss her round and round

1:06You can keep her in your vision, but you never keep her down

1:15She's a lover, she's a mother, she's a friend and she's a wife

1:24And she's a sparrow when she's broken

1:33But she's an eagle when she flies

1:38♪

1:43Gentle as the sweet magnolia, strong as steel her faith and pride

1:53She's an everlasting shoulder, she's a leading post of life

2:02She hurts deep, and when she weeps, she's just as fragile as a child

2:12And she's a sparrow when she's broken

2:20But she's an eagle when she flies

2:30She's a sparrow when she's broken

2:40But she's an eagle when she flies

2:47Oh, bless her, Lord

2:50She's an eagle when she flies

2:55♪
