An Angel For An Angel

Verse1

I have a wish to one day

see you

I never met you

I know you're up in the sky

flyin' high

with angels by your side

I know there are

times when you fly on down

watchin' over me

 

Verse2

Today I bought you somethin' new

a pretty little angel

just like you

wanna show you my heart is

true

wanna show you how much

I love you

I'll leave your pretty little angel

right here for you

 

Bridge

When I raise up to the sky

I pray you're there

with open arms

waitin' for me

to be there with you

 

Chorus

An Angel For An Angel

is the best I could do

An Angel For An Angel

just like you

An Angel For An Angel

one so true

An Angel For An Angel

from me to you

from me to you

 

Verse3

I often imagine

how life would be

if you were here

from the sound of laughter

to the sound of tears

would you be happy

and not live in fear

would you like it here

or would you move away

 

Repeat Bridge and Chorus

 

Verse4

When I look up to the sky

when I pray at night

I know you're there

flyin' high on angels wings

flyin' high above

where you can see everything

everything

 

(solo)

 

Verse5

What I'd give to have you here

to see you here

would be everything to me

but I know

you're up above

watchin' over me

flyin' high on angels wings

 

Repeat Bridge and Chorus

 

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this for my older sister. My brother and I always go and visit her grave on Memorial Day every year. That year in particular we stopped in Indy as we were on our way there and we went into Liberty Bell Flea Market. First store we went into had this beautiful procelyn Angel. I bought it to put on our sister's grave. I knew she'd love it. The lady at the counter let me know that there was another porcelyn Angel that went with it. I went and bought it for my Mom the next week. I went in there. The same lady was working. She knew what I came in there for. My brother and I never met our older sister. She was called Home two days after she was born. I often think of her and what it may be like if she were alive today. But when I bought the porcelyn Angel for our sister's grave the title "An Angel For An Angel" ran through my mind. When I got home I wrote the song and dedicated it to our sister.
