Dolly Parton - Malena lyrics

(A wish that Malena had wings) Malena for hours would run in the meadow Well Malena would go to play every day She chased bu*terflies and she'd say with the smile If I had wings I could fly that away Malena would cry when we try to explain That little girl's world's supposed to have wings That only in heaven can little girls fly We'd see a strange look in Malena's eyes (A wish that Malena had wings) We'll always remember Malena's last birthday Boxes with bright colored ribbon and string And the wish that she made as she blew out the candles A wish that Malena had wings And with all the gifts that we bought for Malena The wish that she made we could not satisfy But on the night of her birthday the angels fullfilled it They gave her wings and now Malena can fly Malena has wings and Malena can fly On the wings of an angel in heaven on high From the time she could talk her wish was the same A wish that Malena had wings (A wish that Malena had wings)
