If Children Had Wings Lyrics

There's a love I hold dear and it shines through each year And it makes things seem different somehow It's for better or worse, it's for people who thirst For a love that burns brighter right now
And it shines on and on till all sadness is gone And if children had wings I would sing them this song With a smile on my face and a tear in my eye Everything will be fine by and by
There were things that were said, there were things that were done And a wife cannot stand too much pain And what I thought was best, couldn't please her much less [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/if-children-had-wings-lyrics-gordon-lightfoot.html ] But my love still goes on, that don't change
And it shines on and on till all sadness is gone And if children had wings I would sing them this song With a smile on my lips and a tear in my eye Everything will be fine by and by
And it shines on and on till all sadness is gone And if children had wings I would sing them this song With a smile on my face and a tear in my eye Everything will be fine by and by
