Song: If I Could Only Fly (Album Version) - Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson
I almost felt you
touching me just now
I wish I knew
which way to turn and go
I feel so good and then,
then I feel so bad
I wonder what I ought to do
If I could only fly,
if I could only fly
I'd bid this place goodbye
to come and be with you
But I can hardly stand
and I got no where to run
Another sinking sun
and one more lonely night
The wind keeps blowing,
somewhere, everyday
Tell me things get better,
somewhere, up the way
Just dismal thinking
on a dismal day
And sad songs for us to bare
If I could only fly
If we could only fly
If we could only fly
There'd be no more lonely nights
You know, sometimes, I write happy songs
Then some little thing goes wrong
I wish they all could make you smile
Coming home soon and I wanna stay
Maybe we can, somehow, get away
I wish you could come with me when I go again
If I could only fly, if I could only fly
I'd bid this place goodbye to come and be with you
But I can hardly stand and I got no where to run
Another sinking sun and one more lonely night
