Heaven Got Another Angel (Gordon True)

The roses aren't as pretty

The sun isn't quite as high

The birds don't sing as sweet of a lullaby

The stars are a little bit faded

The clouds are just a little more gray

And it feels like things won't ever be the same

 

Heaven got another angel the night you left this world behind

Heaven got a little better the day that it took you away from me

I'm missing you tonight

I'll see you again sometime

For now, I'll close my eyes

And dream of heaven tonight

 

The beaches aren't as lovely

The sky isn't quite as blue

Still, they're sweetened by the memory of you

The rain is a little bit colder

The fire is never quite as warm

Still, it seems that heaven isn't all that far

 

Heaven got another angel the night you left this world behind

Heaven got a little better the day that it took you away from me

I'm missing you tonight

I'll see you again sometime

For now, I'll close my eyes

And dream of heaven tonight

 

I'm spending a little more time now with the things that mean a little bit more

I'm noticing the wonders of this world

I love with a little more hope now

I live with a little more peace

Cause I understand how precious life can be

 

Heaven got another angel the night you left this world behind

Heaven got a little better the day that it took you away from me

I'm missing you tonight

I'll see you again sometime

For now, I'll close my eyes

And dream of Heaven tonight

This song I found on Youtube a while ago. I cry every time I hear this song. Gordon True's voice is mesmerizing and beautiful. This song is about a man who lost a loved one. He says that nothing will ever be the same on Earth, but Heaven got another Angel that day. He misses her, but he knows that he will see her soon. So for now, he will close his eyes and dream of heaven. Later he realizes, the world is still beautiful. He is filled with hope and peace. He now understands how precious life is.

I recited this piece a few years ago for a speech competition. Everybody in the room was in tears. Everybody has loved people who have passed on, but knowing you will see them again makes everything better. during my performance, I thought of my loved ones, and I started crying in the middle of my performance, but I finished with my head held high and mind filled with wonder. I also finished with a perfect score, but the score did not matter much to me.

Here is the link to the Youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7JKOGAuPSs

Enjoy!
