[Verse 1]
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
Ascend into 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
[Pre-Chorus]
How is the sky you left us for?
Are the clouds keepin' you warm?
Are your red wings helpin' you soar, helpin' you soar?
[Chorus]
I wish you were more than an imaginary stranger
(Strangеr, stranger, stranger)
I wish you werе more than just a memory
(Memory, memory, memory, yeah)
I wish you were 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
[Verse 2]
I knew all the stories before Mama told me
Surrounded ourselves, but still a little bit lonely
Singin' the melody just like you would, mhm
[Pre-Chorus]
How is the sky you left us for?
Are the clouds keepin' you warm?
Are your red wings helpin' you soar, helpin' you soar?
[Chorus]
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 were 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
[Post-Chorus]
Blood runs deep, two-way street
Now I'm lost, now I can't sleep
You are the best parts of me
But you will never see my face
And never know my name
[Outro]
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
