SWEET ANGEL OF MINE
By Vicki Richter
My angel, my baby There’s no rhyme and no reason
You were taken from me To my life anymore
How can I keep living My heart knows no season
What light can I see? My life has been torn
Your love was so precious I read all the books
Your years were too few I reach for the wise
Our dreams and our plans I cry oceans of tears
Were just coming true But my heart only sighs
For your soul is my soul
They say I can do this Sweet angel of mine
It only takes time
They say that one morning Why can’t I turn back
I’ll wake up and find the pages of time?
My head is not spinning Why can’t I just hold you
My thoughts are more clear With no end in mind?
I’ll tend to life’s duties I pray every day
And feel you are near But still I can’t do it
I can’t give you up….
It’s been a full year now I don’t think I’ll get through it
And I still feel no hope You’re my heart and my soul
I get through each day Sweet angel of mine
And I still don’t know how
I’m living life blindly It’s going to take
With you on my mind more than just time
You’re my heart and my soul Are you still here beside me?
Sweet angel of mine Please give me a sign
I’m asking you now
I try not to be angry Stay close by my side
I try not to be sad Until I learn how to live
But your heart is my heart with only part of my soul
There’s no peace to be had Until I can join you
You’re a gift I was given And hold you once more
How was I to know
It was for just a short time My love will not waiver
No….I can’t let you go My love will not dim
The tears I can’t hold back One day again
The strength I can’t find Our voices will blend
Please come back to me Rest easy in God’s arms
Sweet angel of mine Safe from all harm
Rest easy in God’s arms
Where you’ll know no more pain
You’re my heart and my soul
Sweet angel of mine
Until I can hold you
And be whole again
