Susan Cattaneo - Fall To Fly

Fall to Fly

Susan Kean Cattaneo/Corrinne May

On winter days, the snow would glisten like a sea of diamonds in the sun

All bundled up in hat and mittens, I’d be out the door and on the run

To the meadow, my place

Beneath branches of icy lace

Arms held out, eyes shut closed

I’d lean back and just let go and I would

Fall to fly

A snow-white angel, I’d spread my wings to the sky

How I’d glide

But soon I craved the city lights, they seemed far brighter than the moon on snow

Turned in my wings for earthly things forgot the feel of clouds on indigo

I was strong, I was proud

Keeping both feet on the ground

I feared love like I feared heights

I just didn’t realize that I can

Fall to fly

A snow-white angel, I spread my wings to the sky

Yes, I can fall to fly

But now you’ve come along

Like fallen snow at dawn you move me

And with you by my side

We’ll soar, we will climb straight to the heaven’s skies

And we’ll fly

A snow-white angel, I spread my wings to the sky

Yes, I can fall to fly

Cause now I’m gonna give love a try

Fall to fly

On winter days, I wait for snow and then I know the angel flies once more

Fall to fly, fall to fly
