Rodney Crowell Things I Wish I'd Said
You lay there fighting for each breath
While angels hovered 'round your bed
With open arms like God?s own smile
They led you to the light
What a battle you have won
And now your journey has begun
To the land where spirits fly
And your soul will never die
So travel lightly in my heart
You and I will never part
And far beyond this world we see
There?s a place for you and me
And I thank my lucky stars
We had a chance to heal our scars
Now I don?t have to hang my head
Over things I wish I?d said
So here am I your only son
I?m thinking back on work we?ve done
You were strong and I was young
Man we had our fights
And everything I felt for you
Has been turned to something new
And this is love I feel today
It will never go away
So travel lightly in my heart
You and I will never part
Far beyond this world we see
There?s a place for you and me
And I thank the moon and stars
We had a chance to heal our scars
Now I don?t have to hang my head
Over things I wish I?d said
I don?t have to hide my tears
I don?t have to drown my fears
And I don?t have to hang my head
Over things I wish I?d said
No, I don?t have to live in dread
Over things I wish I?d said
