I'm getting me ol' wings ready.
I'm giving them a brand new shine.
They're goin' to be bright and steady
for that sweet love o' mine.
He's flown so high above me
that I must follow suit,
and break beyond these boundaries
that laid me though and through.
I'd rather nest than take flight
I know this now, I do.
But without my baby to spoon,
I just don't have the right.
I'm getting me ol' wings ready.
I'm giving them a brand new shine.
They're goin' to be bright and steady
for that sweet love of mine.
My baby's somewhere peaceful,
beyond my line of sight,
A place that is so beautiful,
heavenly, and bright.
Yes, I'll make it through each day
that comes for me to pass.
But I'll miss my sweet baby.
I'll miss my baby, yeah.
I'm getting me ol' wings ready.
I'm giving them a brand new shine.
They're goin' to be bright and steady
for that sweet love of mine.
