Angel of Mercy

Angel of mercy A small spark kindles in eager young hearts With a smile, a song, and a destiny Their souls a perfect match from the start How sad she was blind to her eternity She spent many years wasted in searching Looking for true love with other men Always believing their love was abiding Only to have her heart broken again Angel of Mercy, comfort her tonight Show her what's wrong and what's right He adores her heart, he loves her soul Angel of Mercy, wrap her in your love Teach her how to let go All these years the spark still survives A small ember in ashes of the past One look into his eyes and her truth arrives Her true love she recognizes at last Spark to flame, flame to inferno All in one look, in one breath How she missed it before, she will never know But now she knows she is his to her death Angel of Mercy, comfort her tonight Show her what's wrong and what's right He adores her heart, he loves her soul Angel of Mercy, wrap her in your love Teach her how to let go She longs to tell him 'I love you' And turns with her arms open wide Where once he stood, so solid and true Now only emptiness and darkness reside She cries out his name in pure desperation Her soul weeps 'Where has he gone?' The universe answers with a sad intonation 'I'm so sorry. You simply waited too long.' Angel of Mercy, comfort her tonight Show her what's wrong and what's right He broke her heart, she lost her soul Angel of Mercy, wrap her in your love Please teach her to let him go.
