James Travis "Jim" Reeves (August 20, 1923 – July 31, 1964) was an American country and popular music singer-songwriter. With records charting from the 1950s to the 1980s, he became well known as a practitioner of the Nashville sound (a mixture of older country-style music with elements of popular music). Known as "Gentleman Jim", his songs continued to chart for years after his death. Reeves died at age 40 in the crash of a private airplane. He is a member of both the Country Music and Texas Country Music Halls of Fame. more »

I've tried my very best to meet all of your demands
The more I try more faults you find I just don't understand
You want me to be perfect and with all my heart I've tried
You're looking for an angel and I'm sorry I can't fly

If you could only feel the pain that's in this heart of mine
Each little fault you find with me you turn into a crime
Your doubtful thoughts and jealousy have caused our love to die
You're looking for an angel and I'm sorry I can't fly

Love could have been the sweetest thing two people ever knew
If you had only realized how much I cared for you
I know you'll go on searching for that perfect guy
And I hope his wings are pretty cause you see I can't fly
