gloria stewart, babyface (1999)
Performed by shanice
If I had wings I'd fly away
I'd let the stars just guide the way
Right to you
Don't care if this journey takes all night
How my heart yearns to be with you
I thought I would share with you my dreams
I'm still missin' you
But instead of just writing you
I'll spread my wings and
Fly like an angel to you
I'll spread my wings like an eagle
And fly straight to you
I'm gon' fly like an angel to you
Won't be writing you no letters
Love's gon' bring our souls together
And if by chance that we should meet
On an open glide
We'll run away with each other
No looking back we're heading to our destiny
Someday I hope it will come true
I thought I would share with you my dreams
I'm still missin' you
But instead of just writing you
I'll spread my wings and
Hook
And we'll fly, through the sky
To the sun
To the heavens above
And we'll touch, through our love
We'll be closer to heaven
I'll open my wings and
Hook 3 times
