River Glade - My Angel Lyrics

Daddy left when I was three, Momma tried so desperately
To find and bring him home to me, searching everywhere

All she found was misery, she fell ill and couldn't be a Mother to me anymore
I was lying on the floor hanging by a thread feeling left for dead, wondering if anybody cared

Then you came to my rescue like an angel of mercy
You set my place at suppertime, made me feel at home
You gave me hope and changed my life
I'm humbled by the sacrifice you bore
Now I call you my angel, you're much more

Raising three kids of your own, little house that we called home
I never was a stranger there, you loved me like a son
Always felt like I belonged, when I was weak you made me strong
Now I look back in awe at what you've done
Cause every time I called for help you answered every one

Oh, you came to my rescue like an angel of mercy
You set my place at suppertime, made me feel at home
You gave me hope and changed my life
I'm humbled by the sacrifice you bore
Now I call you my angel, but you're so much more

The longer I live, the clearer I see
You were sent from heaven, yeah that's what I believe
And now you sit with God on high
Still watching me with a loving eye, sometimes I wonder why

You came to my rescue like an angel of mercy you set my place at suppertime
Made me feel at home

You were only a woman it's true, a precious pearl of a woman were you
They can call you a woman, you're an angel to me, you'll always be my angel
