EMILY'S ANGEL

From Valerie & Walter Crockett's Emily's Angel on the Big Bark label.

The limo comes at 8 o’clock in the drizzly morning rain
And Emily makes it to the car with her wheelchair and her pain
Off to New York City to meet her favorite country star
A child’s wish is granted, but her headaches make it hard
She’ll take on extra pain, so she won’t miss the dance
With her angel in a cowboy hat
And a guitar in his hands

CHORUS:
Oh he believes in believing
And she believes in the man
Her mama sees he’s her angel
Emily’s angel in a cowboy hat with a guitar in his hands

His silver buckle flashes first, and then his infinite charms
He gives her lots of time, he gives a kiss on her head,
He gives a bear hug in his arms
His wings of kindness wrap them up, a mama and her little girl
Three days in a row feeding the faith
Anything can happen in this world
And when it’s time to say goodbye,
He wants her to remember this dance
So her angel in a cowboy hat gives her the guitar in his hands.

BRIDGE:
And her mama starts to cry,
Because she knows how much I means
To her Emily, who turns his love into strength to live, and dream

REPEAT CHORUS

Always believe...
Always believe...
He says, "OK Sweetheart, it's time to say goodbye now."
"Now you take this guitar home with you, so you don't forget me now, you hear?"
"And the one thing I want you to remember every time you think of me is always believe. Always, always believe."
And he gives her the sweetest hug.
"Now you take care of yourself. I love you very, very much."
"Goodbye darling."

REPEAT CHORUS

Emily's Angel
