lyrics

Why Don’t You Have Wings?
by Dave Undis and Dan Demay

VERSE
With a band-aid and a kiss, you swoop in and heal a knee.
With just your hand on my cheek, my worries fly away from me.
For years I’ve been watching what you do, wondering the same thing.
Why don’t you have wings?

CHORUS
Cuz you comfort, you nurture, you love, and you teach.
You guard with your life, you inspire while you lead.
You do all of that and more.
So many wonderful things.
I have to wonder
Why don’t you have wings?

VERSE
With a miracle and a rib, God created you.
If he tries for all time, you’re something he won’t outdo.
Every night I thank the Lord for you, and ask Him the same thing.
Why don’t you have wings?

CHORUS
Cuz you’re a mother, a daughter, a friend, and a wife.
My confidant, my lover, the bedrock of my life.
You’re all of that and more.
So many wonderful things.
I have to wonder
Why don’t you have wings?

BRIDGE
I think the angels wonder the same thing that I do,
And when you get to heaven they’ll have a pair waiting for you.

CHORUS
Cuz you comfort, you nurture, you love, and you teach.
You guard with your life, you inspire while you lead.
You do all of that and more.
So many wonderful things.
I have to wonder
Why don’t you have wings?

I have to wonder
Why don’t you have wings?
