Jim Reeves - I Can't Fly lyrics

I've tried my very best to meet all of your demands

The more I try more faults you find I just don't understand

You want me to be perfect and with all my heart I've tried

You're looking for an angel and I'm sorry I can't fly

If you could only feel the pain that's in this heart of mine

Each little fault you find with me you turn into a crime

Your doubtful thoughts and jealousy have caused our love to die

You're looking for an angel and I'm sorry I can't fly

[ fiddle - steel ]

Love could have been the sweetest thing two people ever knew

If you had only realized how much I cared for you

I know you'll go on searching for that perfect guy

And I hope his wings are pretty cause you see I can't fly
