Lyrics
MOMMA DO THE ANGELS CRY
BY GRANT PEARCE
Momma was born in Checotah, pertiest girl you ever saw
She grew up then came out west with a dream to do her best Momma.
Momma does God see everything, did he give you all you dreamed momma.
Momma met my dad one day fell in love and moved away,
had some kids, and bought some things, tried to live an American dream
Momma.
Momma bowed her head to pray, thanked the Lord for that day Momma.
Momma, do the angels cry, when they lay down to sleep at night? Do they get down on their knees to pray?
And do they thank the Lord above, for giving them all his love, just like I do each day...
And momma... do the angels pray?
Momma's grown old, but she still laughs, talks about the times she's had
growin up, seein things, living out her own dreams
Momma.
I hope the Lord from up above will always give you his love Momma.
Then one day the angels came, took my momma far away.
I was gone doin some things, tryin to live the American dream.
Momma.
Momma, do the angels cry, when they lay down to sleep at night? Momma.
Momma, do the angels cry, when they lay down to sleep at night? Momma.
