Music Mondays - Wish I Could Fly by Roxette

Roxette is one of my favourite bands even though they were big in the 80s and I was just born then. With all-time classics under their belt like 'Listen to Your Heart' and 'It Must Have Been Love' (Pretty Woman soundtrack), how could they not feature on Music Mondays? 

Having said that, this track is my favourite. It hit Brazil just as I was about to leave for the UK in 1999 and I felt in love with it the first time I heard it in the radio. That's not to mention that it's a seriously sexy song. Check the lyrics by clicking 'read more' below the video.

What do you think? Do you have any fond Roxette memories or have you never heard of them?

LYRICS...

WISH I COULD FLY

by Roxette

Halfway through the night

I wake up in a dream

Echoes in my head

Make every whisper turn into a scream.

I dream I could fly

Out in the blue

Over this town

Following you

Over the trees

Subways and cars

I'd tried to find out

Who you really are.

In the middle of the night

Cool, sweating in my bed

Got the windows open wide

Thinking about all the things you said.

I wish I could

Out in the blue

Over this town

Following You

I'd fly over roof tops

The great boulevards 

To try to find out 

Who you really are (2x)

I wish I could fly now. (3x)

I wish I could fly

Around and around

Over this town

The dots on the ground

I'd follow your course

Of doors left ajar

To try to find out 

Who you really are

Who your really are

I'll fly (2x)

I wish I could fly

I wake up in a dream (in the middle of the night)

In the middle of the night

I wish I could fly 

I wish I could fly
