  these lyrics were inspired by a young girl i never got to know
  she died in a car crash just seventeen i had very mixed emotions
  she had an angels face,  thanks guys...
    



          ALL  I  COULD  DO WAS CRY
      ===========================

 an angels face only seventeen
 starting out in life learning to spread her wings
 I was holding my head asking you why
 you thought it was right that this angel should die

 all I could do was cry
 all I could do was cry

 I lost my faith god was dead to me                
 an angel died he refused to see                  
 time went by I realised
 he calls the good to be by his side
 
 all I could do was cry                
 Jesus came and took her hand
 they walked away to another land
 all I could do was cry
 
 he shows me where her soul has gone
 she's the beam of light from the morning sun
 the splash of rain that feeds the earth
 all the beautiful things in a great big world
 I see these things and my faith returns

 Jesus came and took her hand
 and they walked away to another land
 all I could do was cry
 all I could do was cry

 I can only imagine the other side
 whatever I dream that's what its like
 angels never cry flowers never die
 and the sun shines all the time

 look after this new angel       -
 keep her safe and warm         -
 let her walk in the meadow    -
 where no petals fall                -  TALK
 let her bathe in the stream      -
 where the holy water runs      -
 hold her tight in your arms     -
 shower her with love ...          -

I can see youv`e worked this all out, and it rhymes well...........there`s nothing challenging in it particularly ,some cliché  use  .....but not a problem..

i think when we use Angel ,it sort of directs us into a  celestial  themed song.....but i get what's it about to do with a dead girl .....a sad tale..

So in my opinion youv`e written something that can have music added to it without a lot of messing about.

this is defenetly from the heart and i think it is well done
and it defenetly sets of alot of emotion for me

this is nice because you've not tried to hide anything, like, a lot of people get embarassed about feelings and try to sugarcoat them, but it seems you've left it quite a raw emotional wave about it

 thaks for the comments guys,    take care...

Another good song, I really liked the verse (bridge?) beginning "he shows me where her soul has gone" which has good imagery.  Sung well, this could be a real tearjerker.

hi GTB,

you take care...

For some reason I keep getting an Ed Sheeran A Team vibe of these lyrics every time I  read them. I think they'd suit that acoustic style very well. A very well written piece with lost of emotion and little dressing up. Good songwriting.

Agree with most of the previous comments, this is a very moving piece for sure! I actually got a Maroon 5 'she will be loved' vibe from it (I hope you think that's a compliment love how raw this is, nice work

[benjo]

everything you just said is a compliment to me
thank you very much take care...
