DOLLY PARTON - Angels & Eagles lyrics

rate me

I stood by the window, watchin' the runway

'Til I saw your plane leave the ground

I already missed you

I felt a little lonely

As you disappeared into the clouds

I said a prayer out loud

You're like an angel, like an eagle

I know I have to let you fly

Where the world is just a small thing

When you see it from so high

May you breathe in all the freedom

You'll find dancing in the air

If I could give you anything at all

I'd give you everywhere

Like an angel, like an eagle

You need a big sky

To find your own answers

And only you will know when it's right

With the courage of a dreamer

And the spirit of a wild heart

Drinkin' from the great big cup of life

So beautiful in flight

Like an angel, like an eagle

I know I have to let you fly

Where the world is just a small thing

When you see it from so high

May you breathe in all the freedom

You'll find dancing in the air

If I could give you anything at all

I'd give you everywhere

Like an angel, like an eagle

I'll be right, I'll be here

Waiting where, all you need, all you need

And the world is just a small thing

When you see it from so high

May you breathe in all the freedom

You'll find dancing in the air

If I could give you anything at all

I'd give you everywhere

Like an angel, like an angel

Like an eagle, like an eagle

Like an angel
