Angel (Before Her Time)

I never knew, I could miss you this much    
Your leaving took me by surprise      
I couldn’t see it then, but now I finally realize      
     
And you... were my saving grace      
I pray forgiveness      
So God will let me take your place      
An angel before her time      
     
When I look out my window      
I wish I could turn back the hands      
It’s a prison that no one understands      
I guess it true, only the good die young      
It’s not the petals, but things I didn’t hold that stung

And you... (and you) were my saving grace      
I pray forgiveness      
So God will let me take your place      
An angel before her time      
(Before your time)
 
The world doesn’t have to go the heaven to see your smile  
Sacrifice, are in the gifts we leave behind  
You said, she made life all worth while  
 
(Instrumental)      
     
And you... (and you) are my saving grace      
And for you....      
I pray forgiveness, (forgiveness)      
So God will let me take your place      
To take your place    
And you...    
An angel before her time      
     
I never knew... I could miss you this much...
