Your wings was ready but my heart was not

Songtext

Verse 1 I always thought we’d have more time, Another day, another call. I never knew the smallest things Would be what I’d miss most of all. Your picture’s still right where it was, Your memory hasn’t changed. But I’d give everything I have Just to hear you say my name. Pre-Chorus I can close my eyes and see you, Almost feel you standing there. But memories don’t have a voice, And pictures don’t know I’m here. Chorus Your wings were ready, But my heart was not. Heaven called you home While I was holding on with everything I’ve got. I’d trade a thousand tomorrows For one yesterday we lost. Your wings were ready… But my heart was not. Verse 2 The world kept right on turning Like nothing ever changed. The sun came up the morning after, And somehow that felt strange. Now sometimes without thinking, I still listen for your voice. Then the silence comes and tells me What my heart still can’t avoid. Pre-Chorus They say time makes it easier, Maybe someday that is true. But nobody ever tells you What the silence does to you. Chorus Your wings were ready, But my heart was not. Heaven called you home While I was holding on with everything I’ve got. I’d trade a thousand tomorrows For one yesterday we lost. Your wings were ready… But my heart was not. Bridge I can hold your picture, I can speak your name. I can tell the old stories And remember every day. I can carry all the love you left, No matter what it costs. But I can’t hear you answer— And that’s the hardest part. Breakdown If I had one more minute, I wouldn’t ask for much. I wouldn’t need a miracle, Wouldn’t need one final touch. I’d just sit there and listen To the voice I miss so much… ’Cause I never knew the last time Would be the last. Final Chorus Your wings were ready, But my heart was not. I know I couldn’t keep you here, No matter how hard I fought. I’d trade a thousand tomorrows For one yesterday we lost— Just to hear you say my name again, Just once… that’s all I want. Your wings were ready… But my heart was not. Outro Some say goodbye gets easier. Maybe someday I’ll know. But tonight I’d give anything Just to hear your voice say hello. Your wings were ready… But my heart was not.
