Angel

Lryics for Song

I watch the eagles fly

'neath the sun up in the sky

as I stumble cross the trails of everyday

But I know you'll see me through

on forever me and you

every night I beg dear God to let you stay

I have an angel watching over me

they tell me angels come from high above

you've given more to me than angels should

my tears dried by the wide wings of your love

Heaven knows I'd never make it

and for years I've tried to fake it

broken pieces of my life across the floor

So you gathered up my heart

giving me another start

filled my world with hope of never wanting more

I have an angel watching over me

they tell me angels come from high above

you've given more to me than angels should

my tears dried by the wide wings of your love

I know you're here beside me

pointing out the posts that guide me

though I shake my head you always lead me true

Even though God took you home

during moments all alone

I call out and you're still here just me and you

I never wanted it to be this way

but when I rise to face another day, I know

I have an angel watching over me

they tell me angels come from high above

you've given more to me than angels should

my tears dried by the wide wings of your love

Author's Note

I have this recorded and harmonized on 3 tracks. It was in response from losing my best friend tragically. She is there.

As a lyricist myself I started to realise this was song-oriented. I'm delighted to hear that you've recorded it - maybe do a slideshow or AV to go with the song and use images that complement the messages and the feeling - hopeful, funny, sad, whatever takes you.

Unfortunately I grew up in the 70's so it has an old 70's country slow dance style. It was my fifteen minute song and was written while still in shock of my friend's suicide. Sucks that we have to allow ourselves to reach the furthest stretches to get really great stuff. She was into country perhaps it came straight from her. Maybe it's my golden egg, haha.

and i lost my best friend also tragically in a fire...and i feel she is always there...i felt this poem deeply...seventh stanza, first line...should be "you're"--

a very moving piece...

Thank you. Correcting that now. Sorry for your loss. Can't wait to finally get this piece sent to publisher. My friends liked it and think it could be an actual hit on the country charts. Maybe with my angel's help, it may happen and she will live in song as well as the odd other things she does to keep me safe. Hope your deep feeling wasn't a sad one for long.

So pretty, it flows together so nicely. You wrote with heart and it carries through. I liked reading it!

[Mehameha]

personally it was a very draining experience after I emerged from the place where this song came from. I understand what song writers must go through to reach that place where the heart controls the mind. The soul overpowering the reason. I have much more respect for them now. It is a difficult choice to allow your heart free rein, but when you do you are shocked that this came out of you, somewhere deep. Only because you let it, trusting it. But never fully relying on it for fear you'll never come back. Probably why artists are a bit off and qwerky. Thank you for reading and commenting.

This is very beautiful .................

Thank you for reading and commenting. I wrote it 3 hrs after she died. It came from a place inside that basically wrote itself. I miss her. But she seems to show up in odd ways that keep me safe.

May she rest in peace
