Intro

       
       

Verse 1

Mary was a fairy, but Mary was no ordinary fairy 
She couldn't fly, afraid to try 
Mary gazed into the sky and you could hear her softly cry 

Chorus

How I wish I could fly
Up in the sky
Higher than high
Into the night 
How I wish I I could fly
       

Verse 2

All the other fairies were just buzzing around
But Mary sat alone like a stone on the ground
They said "Come and play!" Mary said "Go away!
So they all learned to fly but I'm afraid to try today" 

Chorus

Someday I will fly
Up in the sky
Higher than high
Into the night 
Someday I will fly
       

Verse 3

One day Mary's just walking around
Walking through the forest staring down at the ground
She didn't see the boy with the butterfly net
One thing a fairy must never forget
When people are near, you have to disapear
But Mary didn't see and Mary didn't hear...

Bridge

And here he comes, his net's a-swingin'
Nearly catches Mary but she dodged and now she's running
Ten little steps for every one of his, he swings again
Got her caught against the tree and now she's trapped the net descends
And Mary runs, but it's too late
Here comes the net and now she's caught
N.C. (Spoken)
He lifts the net to see, he can't belive! He's caught a fairy!
Then Mary jumps...

Chorus

Now Mary can fly
Up in the sky
Higher than high
Into the night 
Now Mary can fly
(Mary could fly once she gave it a try)
Up in the sky
(Mary could fly once she gave it a try)
Higher than high
(Mary could fly once she gave it a try)
Into the night 
(Mary could fly once she gave it a try)
Now Mary can fly
(Fade Out)
