Lyrics
I'M NOT READY TO FLY
Copyright 1996 David Walburn
VERSE: I must have said I loved you a million times
But did I ever say it right
If I could hold you in my arms just one more time
I'd hold you way too tight
'Cause life is but a day
One wrong step is made
You watch it all just fade away
CHORUS: I don't know if there's a good time to go
It hurts so much to say goodbye
Can't you see Lord she'll be lonely at night and
I'm Not Ready To Fly
I'm Not Ready To Fly
VERSE: I know at times its hard to bear the pain
But I'm always by your side
For I am one with everything in life you see
I am now the day
Sweet and soft as June
A flower freshly bloomed
Pick me and take me home
CHORUS: (Repeat)
VERSE: I must have said I loved you a million times
But did I ever say it right
If I could hold you in my arms just one more time
I'd hold you way too tight
CHORUS: (Repeat)
