Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
You got to leave me now, you got to go alone You got to chase a dream, one that's all your own Before it slips away When you're flyin' high, take my heart along I'll be the harmony to every lonely song That you learn to play When you're soarin' through the air I'll be your solid ground Take every chance you dare I'll still be there When you come back down When you come back down I'll keep lookin' up, awaitin' your return My greatest fear will be that you will crash and burn And I won't feel your fire I'll be the other hand that always holds the line Connectin' in between your sweet heart and mine I'm strung out on that wire And I'll be on the other end, To hear you when you call Angel, you were born to fly, If you get too high I'll catch you when you fall I'll catch you when you fall Your memory's the sunshine every new day brings I know the sky is calling Angel, let me help you with your wings When you're soarin' through the air I'll be your solid ground Take every chance you dare I'll still be there When you come back down Take every chance you dare I'll still be there When you come back down When you come back down
