Honky Tonk Angels

When troubles surround us, when evils come
The body grows weak
The spirit grows numb
When these things beset us, god doesn't forget us
He sends us his love
Chorus:

On the wings of a snow-white dove
He sends his pure sweet love
A sign from above
On the wings of a dove

When jesus went down through the river that day
Well, he was baptised in the usual way
And when it was done
God blessed his son
He sent him his love
On the wings of a dove

Repeat chorus twice

There's a wreath on the door
She don't live here no more
As of today, she flew home
And we all gathered here
In sorrow and tears
It won't be the same with her gone
There's a place on the hill
That's peaceful and still
Where she'll sleep beside daddy again
The ole' family tree is shedding its leaves
But we'll all met in heaven again

Chorus:

Oh, she's an angel
Let her fly, let her fly
She's gone home to glory
To her home in the sky
When god sees her comin'
Heaven's choir will smile
And sing, "oh she's an angel, let her fly, let her fly
Ooh, she's an angel, let her fly"

She used to rock me when i was a child
Sing "rock of ages" and "in the sweet bye and bye"
Her life wasn't easy, oh but how hard she tried
You know she's an angel, lord, so let her fly

Repeat chorus

Tag:

Let her fly
Ooh she's an angel, let her fly

I forgot more than you'll ever know about her.

You think you know the smile on her lips
The thrill and the touch of her fingertips
But i forgot more than you'll ever know about her.

You think you'll find heaven of bliss
In each caress, in each tender kiss
But i forgot more than you'll ever know about her.

You stole her love from me one day
You didn't care, oh, it hurt me
But you can never steal away memories of what used to be.

You think she's yours, to have and to hold
Someday you'll learn, when her love grows cold
But i forgot more than you'll ever know about her.

silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And i'll never drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine.
You can't buy my love with money, for i never was that kind,
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine.

I don't want your golden mansions with a tear in every room,
All i want's the love you promised, beneath the halo moon.
But you think i should be happy with your money and your name
And hide myself in sorrow while you play your cheatin' game.

Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine
And i'll never drown my sorrow in the warm glow of your wine.
You can't buy my love with money, for i never was that kind,
Silver threads and golden needles cannot mend this heart of mine.

Please help me, i
