Lyrics

Watch Over the Ones I Love – 4:23

David Graff – Supposed To Fly

All songs written by David Graff (SOCAN)

 

Please, Jesus, watch over the one’s I love

Wherever they walk in the world tonight

There’s so many things I’m so scared of

Shine down on them with your sweet light

 

I know I’m a sinner and I can’t be saved

I spent my favours and I’m out of time

If you’re looking for somewhere to show your grace

I’m ready to take their place in line

I know you hold their souls in your hand, and it ain’t none of mine

 

Please love the one’s already there with you

Like we loved each other in our own lives

My mother, father, and sister too

I’ll see them in the bye and bye

 

But most of all look after my sweet kid

Without her I would never be the same

The only good thing I ever did

She carries my dreams, she carries my name

So if you’re looking to take some tickets

I’m ready to ride that train

 

Bridge

If I carry this weight for all my life

Will Heaven and earth be satisfied

If I offer up my heart and mind

Could I ask of you this one thing

Cause I’m ready to make things right

 

Please, Jesus, watch over the ones I love,

And don’t let nobody feel no pain
