Never did you tell me I wasn’t worth it
You believed that I would not fail
Made me think I could move mountains
Never saw my imperfections
Said I  was made perfect the day I was born
Even made time to dream with me
Your eyes saw what no one else saw

When I said I can’t you said I could
When I said I won’t you said I would
You said spread your wings and fly
This love I have for you will never die

Now that you’re gone I remember
How you held your head when you smile
And your laughter deep and genuine
When you looked at me you turn to love
Never saw that in a man’s eye before
The way your arms fit around me
Like they were made for me to be held by

When I said I can’t you said I could
When I said I won’t you said I would
You said spread your wings and fly
This love I have for you will never die

Although I miss you deeply
I am glad for the time we had together
Saying good-bye was the hardest
But at least I was blessed to know you
Agreeing to let you go from the beginning
I didn’t think our friendship’s love
Would make such an impression

When I said I can’t you said I could
When I said I won’t you said I would
You said spread your wings and fly
This love I have for you will never die
