GIVE ME WINGS
(Rhonda Fleming, Don Schlitz)

He asked her, "What gifts can I bring you
To prove that my love for you is true.
I wanna 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
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
And silently stared into space
He said, "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's lessons I must learn for myself.

If you love me give me wings
Don't be afraid if I fly
A bird in a cage will forget how to sing
You can trust me. Give me wings."

She said, "Up above the clouds you can see forever
And I know you and I could 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
You can trust me. Give me wings.
If you really love me, give me wings, give me wings."

[Recorded by Michael Johnson on "Wings," 1986.]

Jeff, thank you so very much. It was just wonderful to get these and so quickly. I had tried a number of other places to no avail. Thank you again.

Looking for the lyrics to Give Me Wings--had them once till my music and my Martin D-35 burned up in a fire-Nice thought though--I had shared a lot of my music with others and after mine burned, they gave me back copies and so I got most of it back but still looking fora few songs like the one above. Some of the lyrics are: "Don't be afraid if I fly, a bird in a cage will forget how to fly, if you love me, give me wings". Also looking for lyrics for Empty Pocket Blues. Some of it's lyrics are: If I had a barrel of money, or bushels of ruby red rings, I'd give 'em all to my own little gal who fixes dinner while I sing. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
