Lyrics

It was a cold day
I roused myself from my bed
I had a moment of rest
Before the pain in my chest

You are so far from me now
You?ve gone to dwell in heaven
And though I know that it?s wrong
I feel envy of the angels

I have loved you all my days
Since before I knew the words
You were the home to my heart
And with your love I was made whole

My feelings change a hundred times
In every hour of every day
I?ll feel such anger sometimes
Until the pity sweeps it away

I should feel blessed for having known you
I should not cry and mourn so long
I should have faith that I will see you
When my time has finally come

But I?m not always such a strong one
And I?m not always so devout
And on these cold and painful mornings
It?s you I cannot live without

You are so far from me now
You?ve gone to dwell in heaven
And though I know that it?s wrong
I feel envy of the angels.
