LYRICS

Lonely is the life of an angel…

All the gifts have been bought
The parties attended
Last check mark on the list
Is the fence to be mended
If you’re lucky enough to have one to mend
There are many without someone this time of year
Left only
With the faint sound
Of a song
Like the one that I heard
On a night in December
Long, long ago
In the streets where Christmas
Did not include snow

It was none of my business
It was never my place
Under a candy cane street lamp I first saw her face
Is she safe? Is she happy?
Has she learned there are more
Positive ways
Of giving her love to a stranger?
Where will she be on this cold Christmas Eve
Singin’ Lonely is the Life of an Angel?
The life of an angel

Church bells chimed the new hour
Her carols made people stare
As red and green glitter
Sparkled in her hair
Car pulled up
Concert ended
Wild talk pulled her inside
Six hours ’til Christmas
Oh how I prayed
This wouldn’t be her last ride
In my new town
The one without snow

Last month’s frost on the lawn
Is now December’s deep drifts
Ground cleared by a plow
Makes my mind shift
Back to the city I loved
The place of true Christmas spirit
Where a young songstress
Once taught me
That home really is
Wherever you go
And that Christmas is best
Where there’s no snow

Life of an angel
