If Children Had Wings

Gordon Lightfoot

Transposer:

Intro: (2x) verse 1: There’s a love I hold dear And it shines through each year ~ ~ ~ And it makes things seem different somehow It’s for better or worse It’s for people who thirst ~ ~ For a love that burns brighter right now And it shines on and on ’til all sadness is gone - And if children had wings I would sing them their song With a smile on my face and a tear in my eye ~ ~ Everything will be fine by and by Instrumental: verse 2: There were things that were said There were things that were done ~ ~ ~ And a wife cannot stand too much pain And what I thought was best Couldn’t please her much less ~ ~ But my love still goes on that won’t change And it shines on and on ’til all sadness is gone - And if children had wings I would sing them their song With a smile on my face and a tear in my eye ~ ~ Everything will be fine by and by And it shines on and on ’til all sadness is gone - And if children had wings I would sing them their song With a smile on my face and a tear in my eye ~ ~ Everything will be fine by and by OUTRO: (2x)

Cette chanson évoque l’idée d’un amour profond et éternel, qui brille au fil du temps, même face à la douleur et aux épreuves. Elle souligne l'importance d'une connexion sincère, tant pour ceux qui éprouvent une soif d'affection que pour ceux qui ont souffert dans leurs relations. L’artiste exprime un désir de partager cette lumière d’amour, notamment avec les enfants, en leur offrant une mélodie pleine d’espoir, accompagnée à la fois de joie et de mélancolie. Le thème central de la chanson tourne autour de la résilience de l’amour, qui persiste malgré les difficultés, et l’idée que, même si la tristesse semble parfois accablante, le temps apportera apaisement et réconfort. Ainsi, la promesse d’un avenir meilleur subsiste dans cette quête d’un amour qui transcende les obstacles.
