I wish I had your pair of wings Had them last night in my dreams I was chasing butterflies Till the sunrise broke my eyes Tonight the sky has glued my eyes Cause what they see's an angel hive I've got to touch that magic sky And geet the angels in their hive Sometimes I wish I were an angel Sometimes I wish I were you Sometimes I wish I were an angel Sometimes I wish I were you And all the sweet honey from above Pour it all over me sweet love And while you're flying around my head Your honey kisses keep me fed I wish I had your pair of wings Just like last night in my dreams I was lost in paradise Wish I'd never opened my eyes Sometimes I wish I were an angel Sometimes I wish I were you Sometimes I wish I were an angel Sometimes I wish I were you But there's danger in the air Tryin'so hard to be unfair Danger's in the air Tryin' so hard to give us a scare But we're not afraid Sometimes I wish I were an angel Sometimes I wish I were you Sometimes I wish I were an angel Sometimes I wish I were you Sometimes I wish I were an angel Sometimes I wish I were you Sometimes I wish I were an angel Sometimes I wish I were you Oh I wish I were you
