Lyrics

ANGELS' SERENADE ���¢�������� Michel Rae Driscoll 2/22/2008

At the threshold between the here and ever after
While heaven���¢��������s newest angel lay in wait
I sang soft, I sang gentle wanting only to soothe her
Knowing peace would be found beyond the gate

CHORUS
So for you I sing this angel���¢��������s serenade
In my heart I know there���¢��������s a better place
Free to fly, free from all the pain
I don���¢��������t have much to give but the gift of my song
To serenade this angel home

I���¢��������ve been lifted and left in awe as I imagine
Hovering angels watching that day
Patiently waiting to help this new angel find her way
I envisioned heaven opening up while I sang

CHORUS
So for you I sing this angel���¢��������s serenade
In my heart I know there���¢��������s a better place
Free to fly, free from all the pain
I don���¢��������t have much to give but the gift of my song
To serenade this angel home

My mind has pondered if there are butterflies in heaven
Since the moment I saw butterflies on her door
And I remember her photographs her beautiful grandkids
Tho���¢�������� we���¢��������d never met, she left a mark on my soul

CHORUS
So for you I sing this angel���¢��������s serenade
In my heart I know there���¢��������s a better place
Free to fly, free from all the pain
I don���¢��������t have much to give but the gift of my song
To serenade this angel home

I don't have much to give
But I'll serenade this angel home
