Things I Wish I'd Said (Previously Released Material) - Rodney Crowell

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
