If We Had Wings - Janis Ian

I can’t dance forever

Thinking we’re together

Waiting for the words that never come

I need something more than

Waltzing 'round the floor when

My heart’s aching to know you are the one

We better sit the next one out

We’ve got a lot to talk about

Between the diamonds and the doubt

If we had wings,

Where would we fly?

Would you choose

The safety of the ground

Or touch the sky?

If we had wings

There’s no use pretending

We’re a happy ending

When we don’t know where to begin

Will I ever know how

Far you want to go now?

Can you find our song upon the wind?

After all it’s only fear

Ties us down and keeps us here

As our tomorrows disappear

If we had wings,

Where would we fly?

Would you choose

The safety of the ground

Or touch the sky?

Seen from the air,

Our world’s too small

But I would choose

The safety of your arms

And have it all

If we had wings
