i saw an angel die
You You Came into my life It was sunshine everywhere You were outta sight Just standing, shining there Shining there Shining there All my days were bright You took me to the sky You showed me the light You taught me how to fly to the clouds Straight up to heaven' Was it just a dream I couldn't tell if you were really real Was it just a dream A dream that I could see and touch and feel All through the night I held you close to me and loved you so But with the light You turned to me and said you had to go Please don't go Please don't go Across the country side I chased an angel fleeting Until it dropped and sighed It's angel wings still beating It was you It was you Oh I stood there and cried And watched love fade away I saw an angel die My heart died too that day
