I almost felt you touchin' me just now I wish I knew which way to turn and go I feel so good and I feel so bad Wonder what I oughta do If I could only fly If I could only fly I'd bid this place goodbye To come and be with you But I can hardly stand Got nowhere to run Another sinkin' sun One more lonely night The wind keeps blowin' somewhere every day They tell me things get better somewhere up the way Just dismal thinkin' on a dismal day Sad songs for us to bear If I could only fly If I could only fly Then I could be with you You know sometimes I write happy songs Other times little things are wrong You know I wish they all could make you smile Tomorrow maybe we can get away I'm coming home soon and I want to stay I wish you could come with me when I go again If I could only fly If I could only fly I'd bid this place goodbye To come and be with you But I can hardly stand Got nowhere to run Another sinkin' sun One more lonely night If I could only fly If You could only fly If we could only fly There'd be no more lonely nights
