Lyrics New Set of Wings - Pam Tillis

New Set of Wings

You flew so high we loved so deep
We lost so much, so much we’ll keep
At the end of the runway it’s a long goodbye
You sang hush little baby don’t you cry
She learned how to dance standing on your shoes
You taught her the lessons you knew she’d use
You rode the wind and you chased the clouds
I bet that’s what you’re doing right now
I can’t begrudge you your new set of wings
Though the hurt is so hard and the truth is so mean
But my love for you like the sky never ends
And we’ll fly together again
With a new set of wings
Little things tell me — when you’re around
A cardinal at my window, penny on the ground
Our song comes on the radio just when I think of you
You come to me right out of the blue
I can’t begrudge you your new set of wings
Though the hurt is so hard and the truth is so mean
But my love for you like the sky never ends
And we’ll fly together again
With a new set of wings
Was I good enough, did I make you proud
Am I being selfish when all I want right now
Is to tell you how my day went down
I can’t begrudge you your new set of wings
Though the hurt is so hard and the truth is so mean
But my love for you like the sky never ends
And we’ll fly together again
With a new set of wings
With a new set of wings
With a new set of wings
