Things I Wish I'd Said Lyrics - 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 

And 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 

And 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
