Angel Wings ~ Ellen M. DuBois ~ Living Each Day

At the ending of the day when I'm weary,
after a waterfall of tears have all been cried -
and I'm feeling like the skies will always be dreary -
nothing's there to fill the emptiness inside.
I lay my head upon my favorite pillow -
just close my eyes to block all the sorrow -
wonderin' where I'll ever find the strength inside -
to do it all again - tomorrow.

And then I feel it - inside me.
I feel it - around me.
Like a gentle hand just wiped away the tears -
and held me close to wash away my fears.
It's you, my angel, watching over me.
And I know no matter what tomorrow brings,
you'll be here to wrap me in your angel wings -
your lovin' angel wings.

The sun comes up, it's time to face the day -
and I think that things are going to be all right -
But as the day wears on my nerves begin to fray -
I feel the hollowness that creeps in every night.
And like clockwork all the tears begin to fall -
as I look at my reflection in the glass -
the eyes looking back at me make me feel small -
and I ask, my God, how long's this going to last?

And then I feel it - inside me.
I feel it - around me.
Like a gentle hand just wiped away the tears -
and held me close to wash away my fears.
It's you, my angel, watching over me.
And I know no matter what tomorrow brings,
you'll be here to wrap me in your angel wings -
your lovin' angel wings.

Thank God for your angel wings.
