Rodney Crowell Things I Wish I'd Said Lyrics

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
