I buried an angel, on top of the hill Under the magnolia tree Her wings are long since silent But she still means the world to me The magnolia's flowers, cover her grave Decorated in majestic white She said the scent was Heaven's perfume And their smell was pure delight I was married to this angel for 41 years Before Heaven called her away I knew she had to leave this world Even tho I begged her to stay I know that my loss, is Heaven's gain I guess they were one angel short I know they wouldn't have taken her Unless it was the last resort Sometimes when I start missing her I can't wait til the magnolias bloom We can sit and talk for hours While smelling their sweet perfume She said this is as close to Heaven As anyone could ever be So I buried her on the hillside Under that magnolia tree

Under the Magnolia Tree
I buried an angel, on top of the hill Under the magnolia tree Her wings are long since silent But she still means the world to me The magnolia's flowers, cover her grave Decorated in majestic white She said the scent was Heaven's perfume And their smell was pure delight I was married to this angel for 41 years Before Heaven called her away I knew she had to leave this world Even tho I begged her to stay I know that my loss, is Heaven's gain I guess they were one angel short I know they wouldn't have taken her Unless it was the last resort Sometimes when I start missing her I can't wait til the magnolias bloom We can sit and talk for hours While smelling their sweet perfume She said this is as close to Heaven As anyone could ever be So I buried her on the hillside Under that magnolia tree
