If I Could Only Fly

1. This morning as I watched a bird

Am

Just spread its wings and fly

It was then a thought came over me

And I wondered why can't I ?

Oh why,oh why can't I ?

2. If I could only fly,you see

Dm

A lot of problems would be gone

When you think of just how much

I'd save on shoes alone

If I could only fly

3. I would never tear my clothes

Dm

Climbing in and out of trees

If I could only fly,I'd never crawl

Or wear holes in my knees

If I could only fly

4. How I'd love to spread my wings

Am

And streak across the sky

I'd be off to see the world

If I could only fly

But I'd always come right back
