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
