Gordon Lightfoot - If Children Had Wings Lyrics

There's a love I hold dear and it shines through each year

And it makes things seem different somehow

It's for better or worse, it's for people who thirst

For a love that burns brighter right now

And it shines on and on till all sadness is gone

And if children had wings I would sing them this song

With a smile on my face and a tear in my eye

Everything will be fine by and by

There were things that were said, there were things that were done

And a wife cannot stand too much pain

And what I thought was best, couldn't please her much less

But my love still goes on, that don't change

And it shines on and on till all sadness is gone

And if children had wings I would sing them this song

With a smile on my lips and a tear in my eye

Everything will be fine by and by

And it shines on and on till all sadness is gone

And if children had wings I would sing them this song

With a smile on my face and a tear in my eye

Everything will be fine by and by
