Valerie has wings, you see but she don't fly around   No, Valerie walks beside me with both feet on the ground   And secretly, when she's asleep I'm learning how to fly   So one day I will join her in the sky      She's okay with summer days spent lying in the grass   And celebrating mortal ways to watch white clouds pass   Valerie had the capacity to see it from above   She gave it up for love      Valerie has wings, you see but she don't fly around   No, Valerie walks beside me with both feet on the ground   And secretly, when she's asleep I'm learning how to fly   And one day I will join her in the sky
