I Watched My Angel Go To Heaven

I glimpsed the golden thread
That wound itself around your head
Encircling you with misty light
That shines so brightly in the night

And from your stand upon the sand
You rise above the lightened land
Your eyes were faced up to the skies
Truth you sought in a world of lies

Spread your new-found angel wings
Raise your voice as high as it sings
Please, do not forget this world you passed
Please, remember that you are loved at last

You looked down at me from the air
I'm sorry, I cannot climb the stair
It's not my time to go to Heaven
I will never forget all you've given

You reached down and wiped away my tear
Your eyes silently pleaded me never to fear
I must live on to see the morrow
And live today through this sorrow

I close my eyes, afraid to see you go
Afraid to say goodbye to all that I know
I must live on through the morrow
But never forget about today's sorrow
