Blaze Foley sang this song at my dad's memorial in 1984 . He loved and thought that my dad walked on water. He barely made it through the song. Rest in peace Blaze. And rest in peace to my father Clyde Buchanan. Writer of Austin Pickers.
I dedicate this to my Son Izaiah William Clyde Baxter whom perished tragically in a house fire August 11th 2023 Rest in Eternal Peace and Godspeed my sweet youngest prince.
knowing this was written by a troubled, sometimes homeless guy...seems to tear me up, putting myself in his, and all us other troubled souls shoes...if i could only fly...i sure wish we could all fly, to be near our loved ones, when we are lonely,and need to be near them...then for some strange reason, it makes me think of my loved ones who have passed away...if i could only fly to heaven to see them.
My wife died today. This song is the perfect expression of how I feel right now. It's so perfect I even have mobility issues and can't stand for very long ("I can hardly stand"). I MISS YOU PAULA!!! IF I COULD ONLY FLY!!!
In all my years I've never heard this BEAUTIFUL SOULFUL HEARTFELT song and I've listened to country music my whole 50 plus years on this earth. It almost brings me to tears speaking directly to my heart!!! Blessings to ALL!! 😍🥰🙏💯🤍💜🤎🖤❤️🧡💛💙🥺😢🤗
Merle the Pearl.!.( ... most of the best often didn't prefer fame; fortune or notoriety, anonymous was often the answer.

Roy Nichols struggled to play this * technique! James B., was Merles favorite- acompaniment. Thinking.?.
I never get tired of hearing this song or Merle singing it. I think of my daddy who took his life over 20 years ago. If I just fly to be with him for a time.
My condolences to you my dad passed away he was a youngman at 54 but thanks to him im listening to merl kind regard.from ireland 🇮🇪this was one of his favourites
Written by Blaze Foley....one of my favorites. Saw him live in 1984 at the Outhouse in Austin. He crawled from under the pool table and got on stage to perform. Blew me away that night. I was recently divorced and missing my 4 year old daughter. Blaze's song is fantastic!
I was driving in my truck listening to Sirius XM Prime country the day Merle died on his birthday I pulled over and shed some tears.... never get tired of listening to The Hag...God bless..
I was at work and looked at my computer to see what was on the internet on Merle’s birthday. Not much. 10 minutes later my daughter called me and said Merle had passed. I couldn’t believe it. Hard day. Never be another.
It’s really brought into focus by juxtaposing them and their talents with the current crop of country music “stars.” Well, at least from what I know. Things got so bad that for the past few years all my music comes from UA-cam channels, mostly people in living rooms, bedrooms, and on porches. Even dropped my Serius/XM subscription.
This is One Great Singer big time, no matter how many time's we listen to these great Singer's each time the Music just keep's getting better to listen too, doesn't it, God Bless you Merle Haggard and Family and Friend's Too Always.
Dear everyone- Merle didn’t give a direct shout out to Blaze, but by making a perfect version of this song, he made some folks like me look it up. Now I , Sinatra fan, am also a fan of Merle and Blaze. When you have talent like these three gentlemen, a brick wall can’t keep you from busting trough.
You make a great musical point !!!! Great music does not stay locked up in a certain genre. Sinatra __ Whilly __ Haggard ___ great ballad singers __ great music___ label it any way you want
Here is A Great Country Music Artist big time Who Knew How to make A greta Song like This Sound Even better when Merle Haggard sing's it , A great Singer indeed.
"If I Could Only Fly" was written by the late Blaze Foley, a sometimes-homeless Austin songwriter and performer. Blaze was really hoping that somehow Merle would hear his song and record it.
My problem as a Musician is I'm easily pulled in different directions-lacking discipline I guess. So now I'm working on Clay Pigeons and of course I had to hear Merle cover this masterful song. I wouldn't touch this after Merle, I'd never feel adequate..
l agree with you, indeed Merle Haggard is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days!!!
I love the emotion Merle has in his voice when he sings this heartfelt ballad. I wish he'd mentioned Blaze Foley and given credit to the man who wrote the song. None the less,, Merle nails it and his rendition is so moving
l agree with you, indeed Merle Haggard is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days!!!
Love the violin , and the sound of it, love the way that Merle Haggard sings too. Just think he sang this song in 1986and here I am listening to him today.
He was blessed with such great talent, Merle's beautiful songs and memories will live on forever 😭. I'm listening to him almost all day here @Jeanette McMaster. Hope you doing good?
Merle gave Blaze a lot of credit. I heard that he tried to purchase Blaze's catalogue, but couldn't work it out with Blaze's family. There's a Blaze documentary where Merle is interviewed, and he said that Blaze died a hero. What better tribute than for the greatest singer ever to do your song...
What a great time for music there are no computers and all these musicians were playing live in front of an audience on TV how amazing is that? Not only that but the lead guitar player is absolutely amazing I certainly would like to know who he is. I absolutely love this song too. Cheers to everyone who loves good music that is made by real musicians
I heard Merle sing this song at the Bonnaroo music festival a couple of years ago. EVERYBODY cried, cynical, ironic young people, women, children, old men. This is the greatest vocalist of our generation singing a great, great song.
l agree with you, indeed Merle Haggard is a great and talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,he's one of my favorites artist, he songs still and always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of beautiful days!!!

My dad requested 2 songs to be played @ his funeral..this was one of them..never heard it until the day of his funeral even though i grew up listening to Merle Haggard by my dad..i will hold this song dear to my heart!
I think this is the saddest song I've ever heard. I heard it after my precious daughter/best friend died and i play it most every day and cry, as all the feelings were taken away from me when she left except the part that never stops hurting.
Merle has said many times "that Bonnie is the reason he's where he's at today with the songs she cowrote and wrote for him" Bonnie RIP you were the best.
Actually, it's a Blaze Foley song, but I'm not trying to be a smart---, just thought I'd introduce you to him just in case you're not familiar with him. Check him out - has another superb song called "Clay Pigeons" which John Prine does a nice job with. Good day!!!
What a beautiful song. Sure do miss you Merle. Glad your music is still here to enjoy, I never get tired of his voice. So much emotion and depth of soul. I love the way he interprets every song he sings he left so many gifts for us to hold on to.
Who's still crying over Merle? Ok, I'll start... Me.
💔💔💔
probably everybody who loved him and his music😢❤️🩹
We all miss Merle.

There's no-one today to compare with Mere Haggard
There has never been - and never will be - anyone to compare with Merle Haggard.
Not even close !!!
Lord give us true heartfelt country music back, so sad we've lost them all.
I'm so glad the great Merle Haggard recorded this gorgeous song, written by Blaze Foley, giving it the far wider audience it deserves.
Even listening to this version I can close my eyes and hear Blazes deep voice sing "and one more lonely night". I hope his soul is at rest. RIP

I’m a survivor of my dad’s suicide as well. It’s been over 50 years and it still hurts. I’m sorry for your loss and I understand.
Credit to Blaze Foley for writing this great song, and tp Merle for pouring his heart and soul into it.

Sinatra?
He Can Fly Now..............On Angels Wings. This Song Is Like A Potato Chip.............I Can't Listen Just One Time. Love It !!!
One of the greats of country music. I believe that when he sang this song, the words had real meaning to him. He will be greatly missed.
RIP, Merle. You are irreplaceable.
Thank you Merle for this beautiful song it brings me to tears each time yet I love it so.
sending love,honesty and frankness make you vulnerable, did you watch this at live?
The original Blaze Foley version is untoppable though.
I miss country music like this! Grew up on Merle haggard music.

The greatest singer but also the greatest musician and song writer! Merle should be in every Hall of Fame that exists.
I heard he refused to give credit for some time
I been asshole deep in Blaze and John Prine and of Course Merle and George the last week or so.
No he did not
If you see my dad in heaven. Sing him this song Mr Merle. I grew up on your music. Miss you and my dad.
What a great time for music there are no computers and all these musicians were playing live in front of an audience on TV how amazing is that? Not only that but the lead guitar player is absolutely amazing I certainly would like to know who he is. I absolutely love this song too. Cheers to everyone who loves good music that is made by real musicians
maybe Clint Strong on guitar
How can anyone give this beautiful song a thumbs down? You
Great job by Merle, but wish he would have mentioned Blaze Foley. Blaze hardly ever gets recognized for the great songwriter he was.
I thought the same thing. It is poetry, and Merle reads it well, but he should have given a nod to the poet.
One and only Merle and praise to the writer ❤️
Neko case
John the Baptist
Tanner Kingery,
Few songwriters get the credit they deserve, even if they are not great.
well, I hope Mr. Foley knows how much I love this song. 2020

Jason Krugler we played silver wings at my dad's funeral too.he used to sing it at the bars on kareoke nights.memories memories
What was the second song?
My brother kept listening to this song a few days before he suddenly passed away. Not sure if he knew something. But this was played at his funeral.
I never heard this before, Now I think this was one of Merle Haggard's best.
Check out the original songwriters version. Blaze Foley - If I can only fly

So sad Mary a parent should never out live there kids ..but if we all could fly there be not many people left on the ground tho .

Oh Mary Jo, I can’t fathom your sorrow and grief. I only know that you will see each other again. You really will. 💗💗
This comment made me tear up 😔
Merle and Buck , Thanks for the Bakersfield SOUNDS !!!!!!!!!!!
You could take EVERY SINGLE singer in what passes for country music these days, add them ALL together and they wouldn’t add up to one Merle Haggard.
Merle has said many times "that Bonnie is the reason he's where he's at today with the songs she cowrote and wrote for him"
Bonnie RIP you were the best.
But Merle didn’t write this one.

Actually, it's a Blaze Foley song, but I'm not trying to be a smart---, just thought I'd introduce you to him just in case you're not familiar with him. Check him out - has another superb song called "Clay Pigeons" which John Prine does a nice job with.
