An Angel (song)

An Angel
She walked this earth
For forty-three years
Church full of tears when she was gone

I was just nine
Lied and said I was fine
But inside, it hurt like hell

I didn't know she was gone too young
I just knew she was gone too soon

Now all I have in picture frames
Family stories and cassette tapes
I try to think back to the way it was
Before the cancer took her from us
But what nineteen years does to memories
Is hard to tell
Now all I know is an angel

I told myself
I'd never forget
All the things that she meant to me

But time has a way
Of moving beyond
All the things that we hold on to

I didn't know there would come a day
When memories would simply fade away

Now all I have in picture frames
Family stories and cassette tapes
I try to think back to the way it was
Before the cancer took her from us
But what nineteen years does to memories
Is hard to tell
Now all I know is an angel

She prob'ly wasn't perfect
She prob'ly made mistakes
Dinners burned and lessons learned
And jokes she couldn't take
But all these years and all these tears
Have washed all that away

Now all I have in picture frames
Family stories and cassette tapes
I try to think back to the way it was
Before the cancer took her from us
But what nineteen years does to memories
Is hard to tell
Now all I know is an angel

She walked this earth 
For forty-three years
Church full of tears when she was gone...
