Imagine We Had Wings

Imagine We Had Wings
 
It’s been nothing but days of pouring rain
And yes I realize that you are in pain
 
I can really see no reason for you to cry
Don’t allow all of the good days to pass you by
 
You’ve got so much love in your life
Your loneliness can cut just like a knife
 
Love’s truly an everlasting kind of thing
Smell the bouquet of roses that I bring
 
You have the God-given freedom to live out your dreams
Even when your world is coming apart at the seams
 
I’ll give you shelter from the oncoming storm
Warm by the fireplace there’s no place like home
 
It’s October and all of the leaves have begun to fall
Know I’m always here for you when your heart calls
 
Why don’t we go out walking in the new fallen leaves?
Even though your lonely heart still quietly greaves
 
While lying in your king-sized bed but you can’t sleep
Got so many promises to yourself you need to keep
 
Sleep always seems to be ever elusive to you
If only you could find one heart that is true
 
Were we just building castles made of sand
Simply destroyed as a wave crashed upon land
 
I will hold your hand through the fire and the flame
And I promise that everyday won’t be the same
 
The healing sun will come out again one day soon
Hang all of your hopes and dreams upon the silver moon
 
Imagine that we had wings so that we could fly
Tears of joy would surely trickle from our eyes
 
There is no doubt that you dwell within my heart
Were so much better together than we are apart
