Lyrics
I'm dreaming you're standing here with me;
We're laughing at something you said,
All the crazy things we did,
But then I turn my head and you're gone.
Reach Your Hand Down from Heaven to me
Be my Angel, and make me believe
That you're watching over me.
Reach Your Hand Down from Heaven to me.
Pain, for those left behind.
Heart shattered, reality torn...
Couldn't believe you were gone...
So many lives you have touched,
All miss you so much
Reach Your Hand Down from Heaven to me
Be my Angel, and make me believe
That you're watching over me.
Reach Down to me.
In every person you've touched,
Your memory lives on.
Give me your hand,
Help me be strong.
Reach Your Hand Down
Be my Angel
Are you watching over me?
Reach Down, Reach Down!
Reach Your Hand Down from Heaven to me
Be my Angel
Make me believe you're watching over me
Reach down to me!
