The Angels Are Waiting

She held the hand of her mama in that hospital bed

And mostly sat there quiet with not much being said

Then she remembered a poem that she heard as a kid

And she turned down the lights it went something this

chorus

The angels are waiting

Can’t you hear those hymns and prayers

They’re going to stop your heart from breaking

As soon as you get up there

When you wake up from your sleep

Gods going to give you peace

And you’ll see your loved ones congregating

Don’t stay for me-

The angels are waiting

v2

She noticed a heavenly look on her mama’s face

It seemed to wash all over her like some kind of grace

She whispered everything will be ok mom you can let go

And she could swear she heard the trumpets begin to blow

Chorus

Musical bridge

  • @ElvisNash - beautiful lyrics.. good way to start the day, on a somber note :)

    Exceptional song Elvis, also like my recent submission. A difficult subject that you handle very well indeed, Reminds me a lot of James Blunt's, "Monsters" one of the best songs ever written. IMO.

  • Nicely done. Very sensitive feel to it.

    Your vocalist does a fine job on it too.

    Good stuff.
