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
    Willis
