Call An Angel

I see you standin’ there,

And I can’t help but wonder if I did

something to call an angel –

Much more than anyone who came before

you light up like the sun

innocent and graceful –

And I may sound naive –

but I will not be consoled – 

I’d like to make believe – 

that you were mine to hold –

I see you standin’ there,

And I can’t help but wonder if I did

something to call an angel –

blonde hair and knitted lace,

And precious few the moments were, 

but for a taste of heaven I am grateful –

now I see an empty space,

but I can still recall the way it feels –

to gaze upon an angel –
