Lyrics
Angels © 2012 Ken Kahn
We walk this strange, and quiet land
'tween being lovers and good friends
And all's forgiven and reclaimed as we transcend
and even though we missed our chance
I hope we have just one slow dance,
Acknowledge what this all has meant
Before the music ends.
I didn't know all those years I'd become your guardian angel
I didn't know that you'd become mine.
To counsel and to calm and warn in times of danger.
So much inspiration, darlin', after so much time.
Though all the harm that went before
That we can never set undone
I've seen you rise above and watched you make your stand
Your freedom wasn't handed down
according to some plan on high.
It only came by your own strength and your own hand.
I didn't know all those years I'd become your guardian angel
I didn't know that you'd become mine.
To counsel and to comfort and warn in times of danger.
So much dedication, darlin', after so much time.
