You Gave Me Wings

You gave me wings.
But I refuse to fly;
Around you my heart sings.

Wholeheartedly you detached the strings;
Although you knew your eyes won't stay dry;
You gave me wings. 

Wishing me to live in eternal springs;
You smiled at me hiding your sigh;
Around you my heart sings. 

Knowing that the life is a ride in swings;
Which runs between low and high;
You gave me wings.

I hear the bells of freedom that rings;
Yet my soul refuses to say bye-bye;
Around you my heart sings.

Love is not about having luxurious things;
But letting your lover shines freely as blue sky;
You gave me wings;
Around you my heart sings.
