You got to leave me now, you got to go alone
You got to chase a dream, one that's all your own
Before it slips away
When you're flyin' high, take my heart along
I'll be the harmony to every lonely song
That you learn to play

When you're soarin' through the air
I'll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare
I'll still be there
When you come back down
When you come back down

I'll keep lookin' up awaitin' your return
My greatest fear will be that you will crash and burn
And I won't feel your fire
I'll be the other hand that always holds the line
Connectin' in between your sweet heart and mine
I'm strung out on that wire

And I'll be on the other end
To hear you when you call
Angel, you were born to fly
And if you get too high
I'll catch you when you fall
Catch you when you fall

Your memory is the sunshine every new day brings
I know the sky is calling
Angel, let me help you with your wings

When you're soarin' through the air
I'll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare
I'll still be there
When you come back down

Take every chance you dare
I'll still be there
When you come back down
When you come back down

  • Reminds one of the Punch Brothers......

  • One of my best friends in the whole world linked me to this video... She told me, "I feel like anyone could sing it to you and it would have the same meaning"... But she sang it to me...

  • Bittersweet lovesong. True love = true sacrifice.

  • beautiful

  • My mom made a music video of pictures of when I was little and this song is on it I cry when I see it.

  • AwsumOldShizzle: you can thank the real composer, Danny O'Keefe, for this 'real music.' He hashed it out with Tim O'Brian on an afternoon in September of 1996. See Danny's website. You'll find the song on his album, 'In Time.' Credit is due where credit is due.

  • I know the composer of this song, Danny O'Keefe, would be pleased you all appreciate it so much. He composed it with Tim O'Brian in September of 1996. You can find him singing it on Youtube. Do the search. It's been one of my fave's for years.

  • Just delightful....this song is dancing in my mind! (*_*)

  • What happened to them? I miss them, and their music. Come back Nickel Creek! You've got fans!!

  • So in-love with this song.... :)
