D        G           D          G
Malena for hours would run in the meadow
                                    D
Where Malena would go to play every day
    D            G               D          G
She chased butterflies and she'd say with a smile
                       A        D
If I had wings I could fly that way.


[Verse 2]
  D          G             D        G
Malena would cry when we'd try to explain
                                           D
That little girls weren't supposed to have wings
     D       G          D            G
That only in heaven can little girls fly
                           A        D
We'd see a strange look in Malena's eyes.

[Verse 3]
D  G       D        G
     We'll always remember Malena's last birthday
           D
Boxes with bright colored ribbon and string
D         G             D           G
  And the wish that she made as she blew out the candles
                 A       D
A wish that Malena had wings.


[Verse 4]
         D       G             D                 G
And with all the gifts that we bought for Malena
                                    D
The wish that she made we could not satisfy
D            G            D        G
  But on the night of her birthday   the angels fullfilled it
A               D
  They gave her wings and now Malena can fly.


[Chorus]
  G        A           D
Malena has wings and Malena can fly
       G           A        D         A
On the wings of an angel in heaven on high
         G              A        D            G
From the time she could talk her wish was the same
  D           C        D
A wish that Malena had wings.
