Top Of The World Lyrics

I wished I was smarter
I wished I was stronger
I wished I loved Jesus the way my wife does
I wished it had been easier
instead of any longer
I wished I could've stood
where you would've been pround
but that won't happen now
that won't happen now
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e62646-brian_webb~top_of_the_world_lyrics.html ]
There is a whole lot of singin' that's never gonna be heard
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow
I think I broke the wings off that little songbird
She's never gonna fly to the top of the world now

I don't have to answer any of these questions
I don't have no God to teach me no lessons
I come home in the evening and sit in my chair
One night they called me for supper
But I never got up
I just stayed right there... in my chair

There is a whole lot of singin' that's never gonna be heard
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow
I think I broke the wings off that little songbird
She's never gonna fly to the top of the world now

I wished I'de have known you
I wished I'de have shown you
all of the things I was on the inside
but I pretend to be sleepin'
when you come in in the morning
to whisper goodbye, go to work in the rain
I don't know why, I don't know why


But everybody's singin' we justt want to be heard
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow
I wanna grab hold of that little songbird
Take her for a ride to the top of the world now
