In Remembrance of My Lost Angel

I feel a deep, deep sorrow,
As life nears its final page,
The hard times that come with age,
It’s enough to make a good man rage,

But somehow, there’s a special sorrow,
In tears cried for love long gone,
By eyes that look back filled with pain,
At my lost angel.

I feel a deep, deep sorrow,
In promise that’s unfulfilled,
In youth that has been misspent,
In a life with so much regret,

But somehow, there’s a special sorrow,
In tears cried for love long gone,
By eyes that look back filled with pain
At my lost angel.

Angel, I remember you,
I’ve missed you for so long,
Angel, you belong
To memories,

Angel, when I think of you,
I think of sad romantic songs,
Songs that make me long
For yesterday.

I feel a deep, deep sorrow,
As life nears its final page,
The hard times that come with age,
It’s enough to make a good man rage,

But somehow, there’s a special sorrow,
In tears cried for love long gone,
By eyes that look back filled with pain
At my lost angel.

Your fallen angels...

I'm sorry to hear about them, Teddy, and if I was honest, this song is not for one but many such angels, I'm so pleased you love it so much, that means so much. One day on the radio perhaps...bye for now. Carl.
