I Wish I Had Wings

I WISH I HAD WINGS

My thoughts are so fleeting, they can’t seem to find
A place where they might rest down deep in my mind
In the dawn stillness a mockingbird sings
When I hear him, I realize I wish I had wings

I wish I had wings, for I’d fly far away
Where mem’ries can’t reach me and heartaches can’t stay
And if I had wings, my life would be free
I wouldn’t remember what you said to me

You said you were joking But I know what’s true
I know that you meantTho’ you told just a few
And when I first heard it I felt how it stings
And that’s when I started to wish I had wings

I wish I had wings, for I’d fly far away
Where mem’ries can’t reach me and heartaches can’t stay
And if I had wings, my life would be free
I wouldn’t remember what you said to me
