Lyrics:
They says angels
Were the ones that took you away
But if there was a god he’d find it in his heart
To let you stay

If I had wings
I’d fly away, oh lord
Ya, I’d be heaven bound
So I could see your face once more
If I had wings
Well I’d take them to the sky
I’d finally get a chance to make it right by you
If I, if I had wings

Now I’m here without you
Just the keeper of our memories
As the years roll by I might lose my mind
But I won’t let you leave

If I had wings
I’d fly away, oh lord
Ya, I’d be heaven bound
So I could see your face once more
If I had wings
Well I’d take them to the sky
I’d finally get a chance to make it right by you
If I, if I had wings

Down here the lonesome are the ones you left behind
We could build an ocean with all the tears that we have cried
Well if it be angels that took you away
Well they took you far too soon
If there’s a god then how did he not let me say good bye to you?

If I had wings
I’d fly away, oh lord
Ya, I’d be heaven bound
So I could see your face once more
If I had wings
Well I’d take them to the sky
I’d finally get a chance to make it right by you
If I, if I had wings
