Don Schlitz - Give Me Wings lyrics

He asked her, "What gifts can I bring you To prove that my love for you is true? I want to make you mine forever There's nothing on this earth I would not do" She said, "Anything I've wanted You have given willingly So now there's only one more thing I need" If you love me, give me wings And don't be afraid if I fly A bird in a cage will forget how to sing If you love me, give me wings He walked over to the window He silently stared into space Then he said, "Well, I just want to protect you 'Cause this world is a dangerous place" She put her arms around him She said, "I know you mean well But there are lessons I must learn for myself" So if you love me, give me wings And don't be afraid if I fly A bird in a cage will forget how to sing And you can trust me, so give me wings She said, "Up above the clouds You can see forever And I know you and I can learn to fly together" If you love me, give me wings Don't be afraid if I fly A bird in a cage will forget how to sing And you can trust me, so give me wings If you really love me Give me wings
