I'd Fly - Ricardo Cocciante

Diane Schuur


The telephone that never rings
The letter that the mail won't bring
Could I have had you in my life
For just a moment in the night?

I want to kiss you night and day
And watch the sunlight fade away
The evening twilight on your face
So beautiful I can't erase

I'd fly
I'd fly
I'd fly

Like an oasis in my life
A dream that fades into the light
And now you've slipped away from me
I live each day so restlessly

Mountains and oceans I would cross
Without your love I will be lost
Oh, to the corners of the earth
Better or worse

I'd fly
I'd fly
I'd fly
I'd fly

I'd fly to bring you back to me
Across the mountains and the sea
We'll find a place forever more
Where you are mine and I am yours
I'll kiss your lips and make you free
For you there is no stopping me

Another night I cannot sleep
I toss and turn beneath the sheets
An empty bed where once you slept
A promise only if it's kept

I'd fly
I'd fly
I'd fly
I'd fly

I'd fly to bring you back to me
Across the mountains and the sea
We'll find a place forever more
Where you are mine and I am yours
I'll kiss your lips and make you free
For you there is no stopping me

Without your love I will be lost
Oh, to the corners of the earth
Better or worse, (I'd fly)
