Lyrics

If Only I had Wings

I reached out for the moon
and saw a falling star;
just a passing angel,
for that is what you are.
If only I had angel's wings,
then I could fly away with you;
and we could share our dreams
and make them all come true.
Yes, we could share our dreams
and make them all come true.
I would fly to where you are;
If only I had wings like you.
I would chase that falling star,
across the skies of blue.
I would dance beyond the clouds,
and reach out in my dream,
Then fly to where you are --
Then fly to where you are.

We could chase the rainbow
each time that heaven cried;
raindrops fall, like our tears,
for love has never died.
Dancing on marshmallow clouds,
we'd waltz across the heav'nly blue;
smiles lighting up my eyes,
I whisper 'I love you.'
Yes, now my smiling eyes
Are saying 'I love you.'
I would fly to where you are;
If only I had wings like you.
I would chase that falling star,
across the skies of blue.
I would dance beyond the clouds,
and reach out in my dream,
Then fly to where you are --
Then fly to where you are.


When reaching for the moon
I'll touch that falling star;
I will see my angel,
for that is what you are.
If only I had angel's wings,
then I could fly away with you;
and we could share our dreams
and make them all come true.
Yes, we could share our dreams
and make them all come true.
I would fly to where you are;
If only I had wings like you.
I would chase that falling star,
across the skies of blue.
I would dance beyond the clouds,
and reach out in my dream,
Then fly to where you are --
Then fly to where you are.
