It was on a cold
December afternoon
Doesn't seem
that long ago
l was sitting
warming my feet
by my old fireplace
When in walked
my little girl
home from
school
And l could see that
something was wrong
By the tears that were
rolling down her face
And she said
Daddy Daddy
at school today
Somebody
told me a lie
And after hearin'
what she had heard
l told her not to cry
It hurt to see her cry
Because she's my
My little angel
My little angel
My little angel
When she smi-i-i-lies
Oh yes she's my
My little angel
My little angel
And l don't ever wanna
see her cry
What she heard
was that-a
Angel's
didn't really exist
That they were just
a part of fables
fairytales
any ol' how
Of course
there are angels
l said
Everybody has an angel
that takes care of them
In fact l know
that there's a
real live angel
right now
And she said
Daddy Daddy
Please tell me where
And tell me how
do you know
And l said easy
if you listen close
it's not too far to go
And this is how l know
Because you're my
My little angel
My little angel
My little angel
When you smi-i-i-lie
Oh yes you're my
My little angel
My little angel
and l don't ever wanna
see you cry
Now l miss her dearly
since she left that day
But l know
she is near me
every hour, every day
Because she's
Because she's my
My little angel
My little angel
My little angel
Yes she's mi-i-i-ine
Ahh, she's so fine
My little angel
My little angel
And l know that she's
with me all the time
With me all the time
My little angel
My little angel
My my little angel
My little angel
