Collin Raye - She's Gonna Fly lyrics

rate me

(Jason Blume/Karen Taylor-Good)

This is the woman

Who had all the answers

The one I would lean on

For comfort, for strength

She's never forgotten

One grandchild's birthday

Now she can't remember my name

And it makes me so angry

I shake my fist

And cry out to the heavenly one

Why would you play

Such a cold hearted trick

I thought your job was to love

And the answer came down from above

She's gonna fly

When her time here is through

First she'll have to let go

Of some things she can't use

'Cause people and places

Memories and faces

Are just way too heavy it seems

To carry on angel's wings

This is the woman

Who saw things so clearly

The one who could pick out

One crumb on the floor

She saw through a white lie

Saw me through love's eyes

She hardly can see anymore

And it makes me so sad

And it just isn't fair

Why should so much be taken away

But when I cry out

For all that she's lost

I silently hear someone say

She's gonna fly

When her time here is through

First she'll have to let go

Of some things she can't use

'Cause people and places

Memories and faces

Are just way too heavy it seems

To carry on angel's wings

And oh, the wonders she'll see

And I know she'll remember

To watch over me

She's gonna fly

When her time here is through

First she'll have to let go

Of some things she can't use

'Cause people and places

Memories and faces

Are just way too heavy it seems

To carry on angel's wings

To carry on angel's wings
