I saw you standing on that bridge Right then I knew the life that I would like to live Your frizzy hair tangled my mind Right then I knew that I would love you for all time You ran your hand across the ledge Right then I felt that all my hunger had been fed You cracked a smile up towards the sky That thought alone will keep me happy for my life But I ask now How can angels fly when you're still on the ground? 'Cause I've been searching my whole life for you to turn my life around And now I don't know what to say because the pain won't go away And I've crying since the day that you took all my good away
♪ I wish I had never walked away 'Cause if I knew you'd jump, I'd dive into that bay And I would have saved you from the cold 'Cause when you took that leap you stole my heart and soul So I ask now How can angels fly when you're still on the ground? 'Cause I've been searching my whole life for you to turn my life around And now I don't know what to do, 'cause I've been standing at your grave And I've been crying since the day that you took all my good away ♪ Your mother said you're up above And all you wanted was a man for you to love Well, I just started breaking down Because the angel I'd been searching for had left me on the ground And now I'll die alone
