My Angel

There's this angel who walks with me,

She's always by my side,

In the day I feel her wings,

At night I hear her glide.

And when my heart is broken

And darkness fills my soul,

She smiles her sweetest smile and says

"C'mon boy let's go."

I knew a girl in younger days

With scars along her wrist,

Death had set his sights on her,

And took his aim and missed.

And left her walking wounded,

Just wanderin' in the rain;

Yeah she was walking wounded,

But walking just the same.

My angel finally told me

She could not wait around,

And she flew off to Heaven

With someone else she found.

You know she really knows her work,

She's patient and so kind;

But she understood that I never could

Quite make up my mind.
