Flying Without Wings (It Is In Pop Idol Album)
Gareth Gates · Other Songs - Gareth Gates
Everybody's looking for that something
One thing that makes it all complete
You find it in the strangest places
The Places you never knew it could be
Verse 2:
Some find it in the face of their children
Some find it in their lover's eyes
Who can deny the joy it brings
When you've found that special thing
You're flying without wings
Verse 3:
Some find the cheer in every morning
Some in the solitary night
You'll find it in the words of others
A simple line can make you laugh or cry
Verse 4:
You'll find it in the deepest friendship
The kind you cherish all your life
And when you know how much that means
You've found that special thing
You're flying without wings
Verse 5:
So, impossible as they may seem
You've got to fight for every dream
Cause who's to know which one you let go
Would have made you complete
Verse 6:
Well for Me, It's waking up beside you
To watch the sunrise on your face
To know that I can say I love you
In any given time or place
Verse 7:
It's little things that only I know
Those are the things that make you mine
And it's like flying without wings
Cause you're my special thing
I'm flying without wings
Verse 8:
And you're the place my life begins
and you'll be where it ends
I'm flying without wings
And that's the joy you bring
I'm flying without wings
