If Children Had Wings lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
And it shines on and on till all sadness is gone
And if children had wings I would sing them their song
With a smile on my face and a tear in my eye
Everything will be fine by and by

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
And it shines on and on till all sadness is gone
And if children had wings I would sing them their 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 their song
With a smile on my face and a tear in my eye
Everything will be fine by and by
