Angels Around Her

There with momma at the door
We heard that yellow bluebird roar
My first day of school
I couldn't wait
She said
“You know I love you, girl
You’re not alone out in this world”
As I stepped aboard that bus
I heard her say...

If you could put angels around her
Angels around her
Together they could fly above the rain
And if you put angels around her
Angels around her
She'll be safe to do most anything
Wrapped so gently in those angels wings

I was barely sweet 16
No one could tell me anything
Even momma said, “wild as the wind”
She'd gently kiss me on the cheek
Send up a prayer my soul to keep
And I roll my eyes as she whispered once again...

If you could put angels around her
Angels around her
Together they could fly above the rain
And if you put angels around her
Angels around her
She'll be safe to do most anything
Wrapped so gently in those angels wings
