i was walking home from school on a cold winter day.
took a shortcut through the woods, and i lost my way.
it was getting late, and i was scared and alone.
but then a kind old man took my hand and led me home.
mama couldn’t see him, but he was standing there.
and i knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayers.

oh i believe there are angels among us.
sent down to us from somewhere up above.
they come to you and me in our darkest hours.
to show us how to live, to teach us how to give.
to guide us with the light of love.

when life held troubled times, and had me down on my knees.
there’s always been someone there to come along and comfort me.
a kind word from a stranger, to lend a helping hand.
a phone call from a friend, just to say i understand.

and ain’t it kind of funny that at the dark end of the road.
someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope.

oh i believe there are angels among us.
sent down to us from somewhere up above.
they come to you and me in our darkest hours.
to show us how to live, to teach us how to give.
to guide us with the light of love.

they wear so many faces; show up in the strangest places.
to grace us with their mercy, in our time of need.

oh i believe there are angels among us.
sent down to us from somewhere up above.
they come to you and me in our darkest hours.
to show us how to live, to teach us how to give.
to guide us with the light of love.

to guide us with the light of love.

between the two of them
alabama
album: american pride

they married back in ‘32
they were young and love was new
and every day the feeling grew
between the two of them
when work grew scarce and times got bad
the hope would chase away the sad
and hope was sometimes all they had
between the two of them

the 40’s came and the 50’s went
and the mortgage replaced the rent
they made the most of each day spent
between the two of them
their children all turned out just fine
so he retired in ‘69
and left with oh so little time
between the two of them

today i brave the graveyard rain
and placed a rose between their names
now that’s the most that ever came
between the two of them

and though i miss them oh so much
his crooked smile her gentle touch
and the pleasure of just growing up
between the two of them
