Soft & Sweet - I Met an Angel Lyrics

"Jesus called her back to Heaven
And now she's at home with the lord"
That's what they told me at her funeral
Before the rain began to pour
If Jesus took her back, he's selfish
Only eight-teen years on this earth
What kind of purpose could she serve him?
What kind of answer is a curse?

I found her favorite crucifix
And tied it around my wrist
I don't believe in where she's going
It's a reminder of where she's been
A box of prayers that she wrote for him
Would be a plea to anybody else
I'll ask forgiveness for all of my "sins"
So I can see her face again

If there's an angel who could pass on a message for me
Could you please tell her I love her?
I met an angel
It was her

All I wanted was to keep her safe
And start her life over again
I saw her picture in the paper, they called this tragedy a "sin"
And that goddamn bastard could've stopped her
He was there the night she took her life
I'll light a candle in her honor
And hope it burns through the night

If there's an angel who could pass on a message for me
Could you please tell her I love her?
I met an angel
It was her

Kate, I know you held onto hope
You just felt so alone
I think that when life's over, it's done
But I'm hoping I'm wrong
For your sake, I'm hoping I'm wrong

If there's an angel who could pass on a message for me
Could you please tell her I love her?
I met an angel
It was her
