Guardian Angel
by Falcone Rising

Album: Dawn of the Vertical Flame

You smiled on me when I was born.
You held my head, put me to sleep.
You embraced my wide-eyed innocence.
You helped me walk and sang to me.

You smiled on me as I grew up.
You saw me run and heard me sing.
You loved me through my teenage ignorance.
You were there for me through everything.

But now you've gone somewhere better,
My guardian angel, my Giving Tree.
I'm missing you, but it's good to know
That up in heaven, you smile on me.

Each goodbye became our last.
We shared some tears; I held you tight.
Never knowing which smile would be the last,
Sometimes I agonize in hindsight…

In your final hours, you heard me cry.
You heard me say I love you, the last goodbye…

But now you've gone somewhere better,
My guardian angel, my Giving Tree.
I'm missing you, but it's good to know
That up in heaven, you smile on me. Yeah!

Now I'm standing at your resting place.
The April rain—it is my tears.
But through the gray clouds, I know there is a way.
I'll see your smile again for sure one day.

But now you've gone somewhere better,
My guardian angel, my Giving Tree. Yeah!
I'm missing you, but it's good to know
That up in heaven, you smile on me.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-17
