Evangeline

The angels came down from heaven
They left a present in my room
By chance I had a second pillow
For you to spread your sweet perfume

Evangeline I waited for you
I knew I’d meet you sometime
If I don’t ever get to heaven
At least I got to visit, just a while

I guess you’ll go home with the moonlight
When the new day replaces the night
Please let me pour you a cup of coffee
Before you spread your wings of white

Leave me asleep
If it’s a dream
Please let me keep Evangeline
If it’s a curse
God it’s the worst
Don’t take my dear Evangeline

Evangeline I waited for you
I knew I’d meet you sometime
If I don’t ever get to heaven
At least I got to visit, just a while
