If These Teardrops Had Wings

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Angel of mercy Whisk me away Sweep me into tomorrow So that this day is done We'd be finished with goodbye Hearts already broken Not used to the lonely But one day along [Verse 2] Now time is a demon And it just marches on Too quick for the old Too slow for the young Oh but just when you need it (Mmm) To pick up the pace It lingers with heartache Stays in one place [Pre-Chorus] But you tell me that time heals all And that'll make it alright You tell me we can make this so easy If we think of this night Like it was a thunderstorm passing Or a bird in flight And I could learn to think that way too [Chorus] If goodbye was a moment If this moment was lightning If your heart was an open window If these teardrops had wings (Mmm) [Verse 3] Now from the cradle to the grave Is such as small stretch of forever But it seems to take a lifetime To make this last stand And I know one day we'll laugh (Heh) And we'll look on the bright side But that's no consolation To this moment at hand [Pre-Chorus] And you tell me that time heals all And that'll make it alright You tell me we can make this so easy If we think of this night Like it was a thunderstorm passing Or a bird in flight And I could learn to think that way too Give me time [Chorus] If goodbye was a moment If this moment was lightning If your heart was an open window If these teardrops had wings (Mmm, yeah) [Bridge] If we could just see the future And the many miles between us When we're light years apart But still carrying on It might help heal today It might soothe the day after (Oh) But wishing don't do a thing For the here and now [Pre-Chorus] But you tell me that time heals all And that'll make it alright You tell me we can make this so easy If we think of this night Like it was a thunderstorm passing Or a bird in flight And I could learn to think that way too If you want me to [Chorus] If goodbye was a moment If this moment was lightning If your heart was an open window If these teardrops had wings [Chorus] If goodbye was a moment If this moment was lightning If your heart was an open window If these teardrops had wings
