The Angels Sang For You
Cynthia E. Jones

"The Angels sang for you"

You remind me of all that is good,
And it is something, simply understood,
that the angels sang for you

Everyday as I have watched you grow,
there is this wonderful young lady before me.
I am listening dear child, and I can hear
the angels singing for you

Lullabies, I want to sing, to bring back memories,
of holding you in my arms, my baby close to me.

Sitting, swaying in our rocking chair,
and I felt the angels everywhere,
as they smile down upon their gift

Baby girl, you're on your way out the door, on your own
I am going to miss you with every fiber of my soul
And my wish for you... all that is good

Please keep close to your loving heart, our family.
Do what is right and pray to God, that he will lead
you on the right path... and that...

The Angels will always sing for you.
