Lyrics
They think I'm crazy, isn't it amazin'?
I hear your voice, yeah, you're talkin' to me daily
She don't believe me, I wish you would
Ascendin' to heaven, leavin' her desperate
Leavin' her lonely, yeah, she's missin' her best friend
Oh, I took your girl to Hollywood
'Cause you never could

How is the sky you left us for?
Are the clouds keepin' you warm?
Are your red wings helpin' you soar, helpin' you soar?

I wish you were more than an imaginary stranger
(Stranger, stranger, stranger)
I wish you were more than just a memory
(Memory, memory, memory, yeah)
I wish you more than an imaginary stranger
(Stranger, stranger, stranger)
But I know you are a part of me
(Part of me, part of me, part of me) part of me, part of me

I knew all the stories before mama told me
Surrounded ourselves, but still a little bit lonely
Singin' the melody just like you would, mm

How is the sky you left us for?
Are the clouds keepin' you warm?
Are your red wings helpin' you soar, helpin' you soar?

I wish you were more than an imaginary stranger
(Stranger, stranger, stranger)
I wish you were more than just a memory
(Memory, memory, memory, yeah)
I wish you more than an imaginary stranger
(Stranger, stranger, stranger)
But I know you are a part of me
(Part of me, part of me, part of me part of me, part of me
Part of me

Love runs deep, two-way street
Now I'm lost, now I can't sleep
You have the best parts of me
But you will never see my face
And never know my name

How is the sky you left us for?
Are the clouds keepin' you warm?
Are your red wings helpin' you soar, helpin' you soar?
Red wings helpin' you soar
