Song Description

a ballad written for my daughter on the occasion of her first birthday

Lyrics

I BELIEVE IN ANGELS (SARA'S EYES)

VERSE 1:
LORD HAVE MERCY, I?VE NOT BEEN A MAN OF GOD
I?VE LIVED LIKE A GAMBLER, DEFYING THOSE ODDS
BUT I GOT THE MESSAGE IN A DEEP AND MIGHTY WAY
I FOUND THE LOVE THAT?LL SHOW ME THE WAY

VERSE 2:
ROSY CHEEKS AND A GAP-TOOTH GRIN
BRIGHT EYES SHINE AS THEY TAKE YOU IN
TINY HAND REACHING OUT TO TOUCH MY SOUL
GREAT BIG HUG MAKING ME WHOLE

PRE-CHORUS:
SARA, OH WHAT A SIGHT, YOU LIT UP THE NIGHT FOR ME

CHORUS:
AND I BELIEVE IN ANGELS WHEN I LOOK IN SARA?S EYES
YES I BELIEVE IN ANGELS SO INNOCENT AND WISE
IN SARA?S EYES

VERSE 3:
AND ON THIS SPECIAL DAY AS YOU TURN ONE YEAR OLD(ER)
I WISH YOU THE WORLD AND ALL OF ITS GOLD
BUT AS IT HAPPENS ALL I?VE GOT TO GIVE (YOU)
IS ALL MY LOVE FOR AS LONG AS I LIVE

PRE-CHORUS:
SARA, BEAUTIFUL CHILD, FORTUNE HAS SMILED ON ME

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
A MILLION MILES FROM THE WORLD SPINNING BY
THE SUN BREAKS THROUGH A MIRACULOUS SKY
THERE?S PEACE ON EARTH AND GOOD WILL TOWARD MAN
SARA?S ALL I NEED TO KNOW OF HIS MASTER PLAN

REPEAT CHORUS TO FADE
