Angel Boy

(альбом: I Wish It Would Snow - 2021)

I remember all the feelings, the day that you were born
The room was dark and dirty, your skin was new and warm
I cried when I first held you, as the heavens all rejoiced
You'll always be my angel boy

I used to watch you sleeping, counting every breath
Always climbing up those oak trees, you scared me half to death
I've still got your blanket, and your basket full of toys
You'll always be my angel boy

A promise is a promise
What the angel said came true
But he made sure that he left out
What you'd have to do
It's the biggest kind of blessing to do the Father's will
But that don't mean that I don't miss you still

I know you had to do it, it was vow you had to keep
But the man who hung there dying, was the boy I sang to sleep
Someday I'll sing your praises, with a heart so full of joy
But you'll always be my angel boy
