(A wish that Malena had wings)

[Verse 1]
D G D G
Malena for hours would run in the meadow
D
Where Malena would go to play every day
D G D G
She chased butterflies and she’d say with a smile
A D
If I had wings I could fly that way.

[Verse 2]
D G D G
Malena would cry when we’d try to explain
D
That little girls weren’t supposed to have wings
D G D G
That only in heaven can little girls fly
A D
We’d see a strange look in Malena’s eyes.

[Verse 3]
D G D G
We’ll always remember Malena’s last birthday
D
Boxes with bright colored ribbon and string
D G D G
And the wish that she made as she blew out the candles
A D
A wish that Malena had wings.

[Verse 4]
D G D G
And with all the gifts that we bought for Malena
D
The wish that she made we could not satisfy
D G D G
But on the night of her birthday the angels fullfilled it
A D
They gave her wings and now Malena can fly.

[Chorus]
G A D
Malena has wings and Malena can fly
G A D A
On the wings of an angel in heaven on high
G A D G
From the time she could talk her wish was the same
D C D
A wish that Malena had wings.
