He asked her, what gifts can I bring you To prove that my love for you is true I want to make you mine forever There's nothing on this earth I would not do She said, anything I've wanted You have given willingly So now there's only one more thing I need If you love me, give me wings And don't be afraid if I fly A bird in a cage will forget how to sing If you love me, give me wings He walked over to the window He silently stared into space Then he said, well I just want to protect you 'Cause this world is a dangerous place She put her arms around him She said, I know you mean well But there are lessons I must learn for myself So if you love me, give me wings And don't be afraid if I fly A bird in a cage will forget how to sing And you can trust me, so give me wings She said, up above the clouds, you can see forever And I know you and I can learn to fly together If you love me, give me wings Don't be afraid if I fly A bird in a cage will forget how to sing And you can trust me, so give me wings If you really love me Give me wings
