Lyrics

She?s Gonna Be an Angel Tonight

He smiles as he sits by her hospital bed
Loving all the gray curls on her sweet head
Her frail body looks so thin and small
She hasn?t awakened since her terrible fall.

It?s been sixty years since they walked the aisle
Precious memories makes his life worthwhile
She was only sixteen when they said I do
Their marriage fit just like an old shoe.

Chorus
She?s gonna be an angel tonight
Heaven?s gates will be her first flight
He?s gonna miss her, but she?ll be alright
Cause she?ll be in Jesus? light.

He?s remembering when he held her tight
He?s remembering when they danced all night
He?s remembering her sweet kiss
He?s remembering all the things he?ll miss.

Doctors say she?s going fast
Not sure how much longer she?ll last
He?ll miss her, but she?ll be alright
Cause she?s gonna be an angel tonight.

Chorus
She?s gonna be an angel tonight
Heaven?s gates will be her first flight
He?s gonna miss her, but she?ll be alright
Cause she will be in Jesus? light.

Her blue eyes have faded with age
Withered hands can?t turn a page
But all he sees lying in that bed
Is his beautiful young wife that he wed.

In Heaven she will smile and pray
The way she did here every day
Her loving husband will be glad
That she will see her Mom and Dad.



Chorus
She?s gonna be an angel tonight
Heaven?s gates will be her first flight
He?s gonna miss her, but she?ll be alright
Cause she will be in Jesus? light.

The time has come to let her go
His breaking heart loving her so
He could have sworn she opened her eyes
Giving him one last sweet smile.

She?s a beautiful angel tonight
She entered Heaven on her first flight
He misses her, but she?s alright
Cause she?s with Jesus in his wonderful light.

She entered Heaven on her first flight
And she?s with Jesus in his wonderful light.
