The Wings of an Angel

The Wings of an Angel
　
I miss you like there’s no tomorrow
Here drowning in my tears of sorrow
　
We shared a love that could compare to no other
I loved you just as though you were my brother
　
The autumn breeze leads to bitter winter snow
I wish you could tell me why you had to go
　
My heart will always love you to the end
I feel lost without you I can’t pretend
　
I close my eyes and I swear I can still feel your essence
Your memory has become like a ghost in my presence
　
I can remember all of those bygone summer days
Splashing in the inviting Pacific Ocean waves
　
We climbed the gilded stairway never reaching the top
Oh tell me why did our time together have to stop
　
We were on a spiritual journey both heart and soul
Eventually the hands of the ticking clock took their toll
　
I send my undying love to you wherever you are
The loss of you has left an everlasting scar
　
How I miss you on this cold, dark winter’s night
I can only hope and pray that your soul is alright
　
Nothing or no one can ever take the place of you
In my heart our friendship will always remain true
　
A single candle burns for you in the lonely night
Reminded of your spirit when I see an eagle take flight
　
Your love will always burn deep within my lonely heart
I will forever remember all the years before we had to part
　
May the wings of an angel gently wrap around your soul
And may he shelter your heart from the rain and cold
　
Thought I felt your spirit on the mid-winter’s breeze
Through my veil of tears I will endlessly greave
