Angel of mine

Mellissa Lynn Shepard 1991 (Mitchell, SD)



When night falls,
Lyin in bed, countin' sheep on walls,
You know you can't see them,
Cause' you're blind,
You got something else on your mind,
He's tall, dark hair, brown eyes,
Dreaming of a day you and Him catchin' fireflies.
Never leave, and always stay,
Angel of mine  you have found your way,
Feeling the warmth seeing the light
Stretching out wings for the eternal flight
Slipping away from the trouble and sorrow
Looking for a better tomorrow
In the righteous I'll follow
Cause' I'm looking and praying for a good tomorrow I'm living on borrowed time  
I just wanna rise and fly.
