Lyrics

The Angels Dance
c. 2004 Ashland Miller

She says she ahs no family, and no one to love
But she only feels lonely when she feels like giving up
The morning hits her cold and the air is dry and clean
Yeah, the only thing musty here is her take on life?s meaning

(chorus)
But I can see the angels dancing in her eyes
And even though she?s weary angels? wings do not tire
They will lift her spirit away from this crumbling ground
And fly her to a resting-place where grace can be found

For she is quite lovely, even though the days
Of twirling in a flowing dress have long since faded
God Bless this woman, she?s not felt well in a while
Give her strength and courage and reason to smile

(chorus)
I can see the angels dancing in her eyes
And even though she?s weary angels? wings do not tire
They will lift her spirit away from this crumbling ground
And fly her to a resting-place where grace can be found

The angels are holding the light that she?s seeing
As she hopefully looks towards the sky
With fervid wings beating, there?s rhythmic time keeping
As the angels dance in her eyes

(repeat chorus)
