I Can't Fly

Jim Reeves · According to My Heart [RCA Victor] [2000]

(Tommy Hill)



I've tried my very best

To meet all of your demands

The more I try more faults you find

I just don't understand.



You want me to be perfect

And with all my heart I've tried

You're looking for an angel

And I'm sorry I can't fly.



If you could only feel the pain

That's in this heart of mine

Each little fault you find with me

You turn into a crime.



Your doubtful thoughts and jealousy

Have caused our love to die

You're looking for an angel

And I'm sorry I can't fly.



--- Instrumental ---



Love could have been the sweetest thing

Two people ever knew

If you had only realized

How much I cared for you.



I know you'll go on searching

For that perfect guy

And I hope his wings are pretty

'Cause you see I can't fly...
