In honor of Christina Taylor Green...An Angel Up In Heaven

                         

           "An Angel Up In Heaven"

At times there's a sadness in you eyes

that I can almost touch

You're haunted by memories of the past

and they can hurt so much
The memories are a part of you

to which you're eternally tied

But you have to hold onto the laughter

and put the tears aside

If you try, you'll feel a gentle touch

and you'll know that she loves you too

There's an Angel up in Heaven

and she's watching over you

She wants to see your happiness

and she hates to see your pain 

She looks to see that you're doing well

as you travel down life's lane

She knows how much you miss her

and she feels how much you care

Time's distance stands between you 

and time is just like air

If you try, you'll feel a gentle touch 

and you'll know that she loves you too

There's an Angel up in Heaven 

and she's watching over you

So, be grateful for the good times

and all of the joy that you knew

And try to look to the future

it holds so much for you  

The love will always be there

death can't take that apart

You'll feel her tender presence

forever in your heart

If you try, you'll feel a gentle touch 

and you'll know that she loves you too

There's an Angel up in Heaven 

and she's watching over you

There's an Angel up in Heaven 

and she's watching over you
