'TIL YOU'VE HEARD AN ANGEL CRY

'Til You've Heard An Angel Cry

He said "What's the matter, babydoll
Tell daddy what is wrong?
Just climb into bed with me
And I'll sing you a song."

But she just played with her doll
And whispered "Please don't die!"
Man, you ain't heard nothing
'Til you've heard an Angel cry.

I laid with her on the floor
'Til she cried herself to sleep
And as I carried her to bed
I prayed, Lord, her soul to keep.

This Christmas is so hard for her
With her Mama gone away
She's too young to understand
The "C" word that we say.

Her mama made an awful scream
Before she had to die
Man, you ain't heard nothin'
'Til you've heard an Angel cry.

So darlin', if you can see
Our Christmas tree tonight
Be the Angel up on top
So it will look just right.

I heard my girl on Xmas. Eve
"Tell Mommy I said goodbye"
Man, you ain't heard nothin'
'Til you've heard an Angel cry.

It nearly broke my heart into
To hear my Angels cry......
