Andy Griggs - 20 Little Angels lyrics
Your rating:
A Friday in December, just an ordinary day for me Till my mama called me, said, "Turn on your TV" I just sat there in silence, in disbelief, in tears Those little souls that only been here for six or seven years Before they flew away Twenty little angels I cussed out loud in anger, and I hurt for those moms and dads I know we're not supposed to question God, but I even did some of that How could someone so heaven sent, so innocent and frail Wind up in the middle of someone else's hell Before they flew away Twenty little angels I know in heaven tonight, There's baseballs flying over fences High in the sky Finger paintings hangin' on fridges In God's holy light Ballerinas blowing kisses Filling Heaven with love I can almost see A polka dotted princess Serving hot tea To the grandpa she hadn't met yet I can hear them sing At the top of their lungs To God up above I'm heart broke, but faithful There's twenty little angels Watching over us There's a touchdown on a Friday night that'll never be thrown There's a pink prom dress that fits just right that'll never be tried on There's a dirty Ford on a country road that'll never see their first kiss But as much as we're gonna miss 'em, there ain't much they're gonna miss Since they flew away Twenty little angels I know in heaven tonight, With wings and two teeth missin' High in the sky They're somewhere up there listenin' With a watchful eye They're babysittin' Us from up above I know they can see Everybody cryin' They're so at ease While we're slowly dyin' We just want to be Right there beside 'em But until that day comes I'm heart broke, but faithful There's twenty little angels Watching over us Oh, I can't hear 'em prayin' And I can't see 'em fly But every time the sun comes breakin' through the sky I'm heart broke, but faithful There's twenty little angels Watchin' over us I'm heartbroke, but faithful There's twenty little angels Watchin' over us There's twenty little angels watching over you.
