Angel (Uncommon)
I lost my faith in love a long, long time ago
My heart was played until it shattered like glass
I slipped in and out of relationships with no more substance
than a shadow.
As far as commitment, hey I think I’ll just pass
Then you came soft as moonlight through the night
Stirring up feelings I believed were dead and gone
Someone who prayed for me on bended knees every night
Someone who made me want to run back home
Some people see angels in white robes and wings
Some hear them play gold harps as they sing
My angel holds me so close and tight
My angel comforts me through the lonely night
I’m a believer that heaven is real and I can see
When I look in your eyes, love shining back at me
I thought love like sunlight was just a glint off glass
That disappeared when clouds overhung the sky
Or maybe like the wind on its journey round the world
Never stopping or slowing always passing by
And time becomes a prison and loneliness the bars
A heart that feels no mercy, a life that wanes with pain
And then I catch a glimpse of your smile like the stars
Joy begins to settle over me and hope is born again
Some people see angels in white robes and wings
Some hear them play gold harps as they sing
My angel holds me so close and tight
My angel comforts me through the lonely night
I’m a believer that heaven is real and I can see
When I look in your eyes, love shining back at me
Peace be still she whispers to my heart
When you fall I’ll be there to catch you
And keep you safe and warm in my embrace
Trust me when I say that I will always love you
You can feel my presence whenever we’re apart
Some people see angels in white robes and wings
Some hear them play gold harps as they sing
My angel holds me so close and tight
My angel comforts me through the lonely night
I’m a believer that heaven is real and I can see
When I look in your eyes, love shining back at me

Leann,
This was the first time I ever had the pleasure of reading anything you’ve written, and it made me burst into tears!
Wow, I always knew you were awesome.
Love, Ranee
I have been reading your writing’ and now have just read “Angel (Uncommon) ….
Your writing’s is a “gift”…(uncommon)…You, Leann, is a “gift” (uncommon)….
My mornings begin with quiet meditations….Angel(uncommon) is now an additional “Peace” ….just for me…..no matter what happens in my day…I have the “Peace” of an “Angel (uncommon). HIS Spirit brings “Peace” to me, in the most (uncommon) ways.
Thank you, Leann
