Angel Above

I still see you Christmas mornin, handin' out the gifts

Watching those smiling faces of every one of those kids

You were pure as December snow, real and full of grace

And every memory I'm keepin' reminds me of your smiling face

Well, the table might feel a little quiet

But your warmth still fills the room

All those Christmases together

Singing those Christmas tunes

So I place that angel above, right on top of the Christmas tree

'Cause it feels like you're watchin' over, still right here with me

Through the tears and the years, your love keeps liftin' me up

Every Christmas I'm reminded, you're my angel above

You lived life like a country song, simple roads and open skies

Dinners full of stories, heartfelt truth behind your eyes

We had laughter, we had heartache, and a love that never quit

And I'm thinkin' about you tonight as the Christmas tree is lit

Yeah, the fire's burnin' softer now

But your light still lingers on

Every moment that you gave me

Is a gift that's never gone

So I place that angel above, right on top of the Christmas tree

'Cause it feels like you're watchin' over, still right here with me

Through the tears and the years, your love keeps liftin' me up

Every Christmas I'm reminded, you're my angel above

Yeah, sometimes I feel you close to me

When the winter winds blow through

And I whisper a little prayer

Hopin' somehow it gets to you

Because I know you're watchin' over me and pullin' me through

So I place that angel above, right on top of the Christmas tree

And I smile 'cause I remember all the love you gave to me

Through the tears and the years, your light keeps liftin' me up

Every Christmas I'm reminded, you're my angel above

Yeah, I feel you here this Christmas

My forever angel above

I still think about you often

And I keep sending my love

So rest right there, my angel, just where you should be

Resting atop that Christmas tree, watching out over me
