New Set of Wings - Pam Tillis

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
