How Big Are Angel Wings

(album: Sounds So Good - 2008)

She sat in her hospital bed
Drawing pictures of the sky
And through all of the pain she felt
She had never asked why
But when the doctor walked in
And said, it's time for your meds
With tears in her eyes
She looked at the doctor and said

How big are angel wings?
Are they small enough for me?
Do they make them little
In the size I might need?
They say where I'm going
I won't feel no more pain
So I really need to know
How big are angel wings?

I can't ask Mama
I know it'd make her sad
I don't like to see her cry
And it does the same thing to Dad
And at night when I sleep
I see heaven in my dreams
So please won't you answer
This question for me

How big are angel wings?
Are they small enough for me?
Do they make them little
In the size I might need?
They say where I'm going
I won't feel no more pain
So I really need to know
How big are angel wings?

And they say where I'm going
I won't feel no more pain
So I really need to know now
How big are angel wings?
