(A Song for a Father and Daughter, Dedicated to my beautiful Daughter Tabatha)


[Verse 1]
Little girl, you're my treasure
We've walked through storms, shared every measure
But now the time has come, my dear
To face a truth that draws so near
Hold my hand, don't let it go
Feel my love, let it overflow
I've given you all my heart can bring
Now I need you to do one more thing

[Chorus]
Tell the angels I'm coming
Let them know I'm on my way
Whisper to the heavens
It's time for me to fly away
Though I leave this world behind
Your love will keep my soul aligned
Tell the angels I'm coming
But my heart is staying with you

[Verse 2]
I see your tears, I feel your pain
love like ours will still remain
The memories made will never fade
In your heart, I'll always stay
Remember the laughter; hold it tight
Let it guide you through the night
Though my body fades like the setting sun
In your strength, my legacy runs

[Chorus]
Tell the angels I'm coming
Let them know I'm on my way
Whisper to the heavens
It's time for me to fly away
Though I leave this world behind
Your love will keep my soul aligned
Tell the angels I'm coming
But my heart is staying with you

[Bridge]
When you look to the skies, and the stars burn bright
Know I'm there in the still of the night
Every breeze, every sigh, every warm sunlight
That's me, my child, holding you tight

[last chorus]
Tell the angels I'm coming
Let them know I'm on my way
Whisper to the heavens
It's time for me to fly away
Though I leave this world behind
Your love will keep my soul aligned
Tell the angels I'm coming
But my heart is staying with you
So tell the angels I'm coming
Let them prepare a place for me
But promise me, you'll live and dream
Find the joy in every scene
Though I leave this world behind
Your love will keep my soul aligned
Tell the angels I'm coming
But my love forever stays with you
