Abe Manuel, Jr. - If I Could Only Fly lyrics

I almost felt you touchin' me just now I wish I knew which way to turn and go I feel so good and then I feel so bad An' 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 nowhere to run Another sinking sun and one more lonely night The wind keeps blowin' somewhere, everyday Tell me things get better, somewhere up the way Just dismal thinking on a dismal day And sad songs for us to bear (Chorus) You know sometimes I write happy songs Then some little thing goes wrong An' I wish they all could make you smile Comin' home soon and I want to stay Maybe we can somehow get away An' I wish you could come with me when I go again If I could only fly If we could only fly If you could only fly There'd be no more lonely nights
