Angel Wings

I've known you since I was young
Someone I could lean on
Then out of no where
You were pulled from my reach
I was only twelve
When the ground under me collapsed
Couldn't leave my bed
Fought to go to the funeral

I was only so young
When I lost someone
Who meant the world to me
I didn't want to say goodbye

But now I'm older
The memory still lingers
Of the day I heard those words
Up in Heaven now
Maybe I'll see you again some day
But for now I have these angel wings
Permanently inked on my shoulder
On my shoulder

I still miss you
And it's only been a few years
Fifteen now but still twelve in your eyes
And I wish that you could see me
Finish school, go to college
Maybe start a family
But you are still watching somehow

I was only so young
But I know you're still watching
Up from Heaven where you're free
I don't want to let go

But now I'm older
The memory still lingers
Of the day I heard those words
Up in Heaven now
Maybe I'll see you again some day
But for now I have these angel wings
Permanently inked on my shoulder
On my shoulder

And maybe I'll be there
Sooner than I think
Never know when my time here is done
Crying about the day I learned
You were gone
But now you don't need all those pills
The treatments, no more pain

But now I'm older
The memory still lingers
Of the day I heard those words
Up in Heaven now
Maybe I'll see you again some day
But for now I have these angel wings
Permanently inked on my shoulder
On my shoulder
Oh oh oh
Maybe I'll see you again some day
But now you don't need all those pills
For now I have these angel wings
Permanently inked on my shoulder
