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
