The Day the Angels Came

I see her image sitting over there, all alone Streaming tears running down her cheeks, on her face Her soft little whimpering voice, a babies tone I remember when she said c'mon daddy, let's have a race It was her first time that she played, in the yard outside I still recall her great big smile, on her tiny face And the tears that ran down her cheek, when she cried Because she tore her brand new dress, with the pink lace She always was my little Angel, my only child But I still cry when I remember, how mommy died giving birth But those pains somehow went away, when my baby smiled Oh how it was so cute that day, she caught a fish It was only three inches long, but to her it was just something sticky And how she loved taking flowers, to her Mommy's grave She always made me smile and laugh, when she said daddy Mommy's stone needs some paint, that it's old and gray Oh! I still recall that dark sad day, when the Angels came And how they took my baby girl, along home with them Oh how the stars did shine that night, up in the sky And how the day was dark, when we buried her Now all I have are memories, of her smiling face In the photograph hanging on the wall, and beside my bed Oh how my tears did fall that day, the Angels came And when they took my baby girl, home with them My heart did break that dreadful day, by a truck As she ran out to get her ball, into the street And when I picked her up she hugged my neck, where she was struck I held her so tight to me, rapped in a sheet She said daddy it'll be o.k., as I wiped blood from her feet She said mommy says we'll be waiting, with God in heaven I'll never forget how my heart was broke, there in the street That day I lost my pride and joy, to some drunken men Oh! I still recall that dark sad day, when the Angels came And how they took my baby girl, along home with them Oh how the stars did shine that night, up in the sky And how the day was dark, when we buried her Now all I have are memories, of her smiling face In the photograph hanging on the wall, and beside my bed Oh how my tears did fall that day, the Angels came And when they took my baby girl, home with them Oh! I still recall that dark sad day, when the Angels came And how they took my baby girl, along home with them Oh how my tears did fall that day, the Angels came And when they took my baby girl, home with them ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This Is a sad song, Not a true story
