I once saw an angel fluttering in the breeze She looked so majestic, so wild and free I crept upon her ever so slowly She looked so pure, she looked so holy But the closer I got the more I could tell She was depressed, she wasn't quite well She flew too high, got too close to the sun She burned her wings, she came undone She lost her bearings and fell to the earth It was such a pity, I could tell she was hurt I took her in and nursed her to health I gave her my love, I gave her my wealth I loved her so dearly, I held her so tight Only to discover she had regained her flight My days are lonely, I feel so alone Oh how I wish my angel would come home She haunts my dreams , I'm filled with confusion Now my life is just an illusion A lesson to learn, a word to the wise When your angel departs, your spirit dies.
