Lyrics
AMERICAN ANGEL
Soft brown eyes, honey sweet smile
The good boy grew into an even better man
He loved his Mama so, but he had to go
To fight for a safe future in this land
Ref:
American Angel
Protector of our home
Wherever you may be
Wherever you may roam
American Angel
I pray for you tonight
You come home safe and sound
After making things right
Golden curls, Mama's pearls
Daddy's little girl has grown into a woman
She says good-bye, tears in her eyes,
"I'll be back home when we have won."
Ref:
American Angel
Protector of our home
Wherever you may be
Wherever you may roam
American Angel
I pray for you tonight
You come home safe and sound
After making things right
Bridge:
And though they had to go
Lord, it broke their Mama's heart in two
She's praying you'll watch over them
Until their time is through
Ref:
American Angel
Protector of our home
Wherever you may be
Wherever you may roam
American Angel
I pray for you tonight
You come home safe and sound
After making things right
