In Remembrance of My Lost Angel

I feel a deep, deep sorrow,

As life nears its final page,

The hard times that come with age,

It’s enough to make a good man rage,

 

But somehow, there’s a special sorrow,

In tears cried for love long gone,

By eyes that look back filled with pain,

At my lost angel.

 

I feel a deep, deep sorrow,

In promise that’s unfulfilled,

In youth that has been misspent,

In a life with so much regret,

 

But somehow, there’s a special sorrow,

In tears cried for love long gone,

By eyes that look back filled with pain

At my lost angel.

 

Angel, I remember you,

I’ve missed you for so long,

Angel, you belong

To memories,

 

Angel, when I think of you,

I think of sad romantic songs,

Songs that make me long

For yesterday.

 

I feel a deep, deep sorrow,

As life nears its final page,

The hard times that come with age,

It’s enough to make a good man rage,

 

But somehow, there’s a special sorrow,

In tears cried for love long gone,

By eyes that look back filled with pain

At my lost angel.
