[Verse 1]
She lived like she knew nothing lasts
Didn't care to look like anyone else
And she was beautiful, so beautiful
I still hear her laugh like she's here
[Pre-Chorus]
Shower it down on all the young
It isn't so wrong to have such fun
Forever
[Chorus]
Angel
I hope they love you like we do forever
Angel
I'll be proud to be like you
Be like you
(I'll be proud to be like you)
[Verse 2]
Does the sun shine up at you when you are looking down?
Do you get along with the others around?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
It's got to be better than before
You don't need to worry now you're gone
Forever
[Chorus 2]
Angel
I hope they love you like we do forever
Angel
I'll be proud to be like you
Be like you
Just like you
[Bridge]
And when I go to sleep at night
I'll thank you for each blessed thing surrounding me
For every fall I'll ever break
Each moment`s breath I wanna taste
Confidence and conscience
Decadent extravagance
Never ending providence
For loving when I had the chance
[Chorus 3]
Angel
I hope they love you like we do forever
Angel
I'll be proud to be like you forever
Angel
I'll be proud to be like you
Be like you
[Outro]
I'll be proud to be like you
