[Verse]
I almost felt you touchin' me just now
I wish I knew which way to turn and go
I feel so good and then I feel so bad
And I wonder what I ought to do

[Chorus]
If I could only fly, if I could only fly
I'd bid this place goodbye to come and be with you
But I can hardly stand and I got nowhere to run
Another sinking sun and one more lonely night

[Verse]
The wind keeps blowin' somewhere every day
Tell me things get better somewhere up the way
Just dismal thinking on a dismal day
The sad songs for us to bear

[Chorus]
If I could only fly, if I could only fly
I'd bid this place goodbye to come and be with you
But I can hardly stand and I got nowhere to run
Another sinking sun and one more lonely night

[Verse]
You know sometimes I write happy songs
Then some little thing goes wrong
And I wish they all could make you smile
Coming home soon and I want to stay
Maybe we can somehow get away
And I wish you could come with me when I go again
[Outro]
If I could only fly
If we could only fly
If you could only fly
There'd be no more lonely nights
