Notes
ADD NOTES-
The name of the show is also an original piece of music written by James Kramer and Marvin Dolgay. The lyrics were written by James Kramer. The song is sung at Barry's birthday parties at the beginning and end of the show and at his judgment.
Bird of Paradise In the cold breeze of winter In the dark before the dawn There's no one here to hold me No one to hear my song.
The days all run together now The nights go by so slow If I only had another chance I'd never let you go.
Let me fly to the rainbow Let me join you in the skies On the wings of an angel Like a Bird of Paradise
Let me fly up to heaven Let me look into your eyes Let me sing with you forever Like a Bird of Paradise
Let me sing with you forever Like a Bird of Paradise Edit

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Judge Othniel: He didn't spend the next 25 years of his life mourning the loss of his one great love. No, he did not. No. He spent them nearly paralyzed in shame for having put his own ambition in front of her desperate plea for help. Mr. Kirkbride, would you like a chance to change that? Barry Kirkbride: To save Charlotte's life? Judge Othniel: And your own soul. Barry Kirkbride: It's, it's what I've prayed to God for ever since it happened. Judge Othniel: He knows that. Edit
- (at George's audition right after he was sent back from heaven) Mark: Great, he doesn't even remember his own name. What kind of space cadet did you bring us, dude? Barry: I don't know, he answered the ad. George: Give him a break. He is a bass player. Edit
- Young Barry: You're a good musician for an old guy, you know that? George: Thanks. Edit
