I once had an Angel,
She stayed right by my side.
A sweet and precious Angel,
When she left something inside me died.

She had long brown hair,
And eyes of blue.
A heart full of care,
When she loved you, you knew.

She wasn’t short, she wasn’t tall,
She was somewhere in between.
Always here if I should call,
Always watching over me.

She told me she had done her job,
It was now time for her to leave.
All I could do was stand and sob,
Then she said, “I’ll always watch over thee.”
