Things I Wish I'd Said (Album Version)

Things I Wish I'd Said - Rodney Crowell

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

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

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
