Angel on the Stairs

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sixty years ago this fall I was waiting in the hall Down those stairs an angel came Blue eyes shining, knew her name Pony tail and that sweet smile Stopped my heart there for a while [Chorus] She was my angel here on earth The Lord knew what her love was worth From the moment that I saw her face I was lost in heaven's grace And one sweet day, I know for sure She'll be my angel evermore [Verse 2] Three months later, said "I do" Took her daughter as mine too Then four more little girls came round Her sweet dream, we finally found When the wars would call me far She'd cry beneath each lonesome star [Chorus] She was my angel here on earth The Lord knew what her love was worth From the moment that I saw her face I was lost in heaven's grace And one sweet day, I know for sure She'll be my angel evermore [Bridge] Oh Jerrie, I held your hand Sang you home to that promised land Never left you, never will My sweet Jerrie, I love you still [Verse 3] Now I tend the flowers there Whisper to the autumn air One year gone, but in my chest You're the heartbeat I love best Late in life, I'm waiting too For the day I come to you [Chorus] You were my angel here on earth The Lord knew what your love was worth From the moment that I saw your face I was lost in heaven's grace And one sweet day, I know for sure You'll be my Jerrie, evermore [Outro] My sweet Jerrie, wait for me Together through eternity An angel here, an angel above Forever more, my only love
