Rodney Crowell - Things I Wish I'd Said lyrics

You lay there fighting for each breath While angels hovered 'round your bed With open arms like God' s own smile They led you to the light What a battle you have won And now your journey has begun To the land where spirits fly And your soul will never die So travel lightly in my heart You and I will never part And far beyond this world we see There's a place for you and me And I thank my lucky stars We had a chance to heal our scars Now I don't have to hang my head Over things I wish I'd said So here am I your only son I'm thinking back on work we've done You were strong and I was young Man we had our fights And everything I felt for you Has been turned to something new And this is love I feel today It will never go away So travel lightly in my heart You and I will never part Far beyond this world we see There's a place for you and me And I thank the moon and stars We had a chance to heal our scars Now I don't have to hang my head Over things I wish I'd said I don't have to hide my tears I don't have to drown my fears And I don't have to hang my head Over things I wish I'd said No, I don't have to live in dread Over things I wish I'd said
