[Verse 1] female
We used to take long drives, just you and me,
Talkin’ ’bout life, about pain, about destiny.
You’d laugh so hard, then get real deep—
Tellin’ me secrets you knew I’d keep.
Late nights, you’d call me just to say hey,
Even when we had nothin’, we’d talk anyway.
Now I reach for the phone, I still dial your name…
But all I get is silence, and it don’t feel the same.
[Chorus] female
And I’m jealous of the angels
That get to hold you tonight.
You used to call me daily,
Now I just cry through the night.
I wasn’t ready to lose you,
This hole in my chest ain’t right…
And I’m jealous of the angels
That get to kiss you goodnight
[Verse 2 – Rewritten for your son, from a mother’s heart]
I gave up a lot just to be by your side,
Fought my own demons, swallowed my pride.
You were my reason, my turning page,
You softened my heart and settled my rage.
I wasn’t ready to tell you goodbye,
Still scream your name when I break down and cry.
You weren’t just my son—you were my soul,
And now I’m just tryin’ to feel whole.
[Bridge – female voice Spoken softly or sung gently]
I called you today… but got no answer.
Then I remembered…
You got your wings yesterday.
God, hold my baby close tonight…
He was my peace, my heart, my light.
[Final Chorus – Soft and emotional]
I’m jealous of the angels
That get to hold you tonight.
No more long talks or long rides,
Just memories and candlelight.
And when my time comes to fly,
I’ll meet you in that sky so bright…
But ‘til then I’ll keep callin’,
Even if you can’t reply.
[Outro – female voice Spoken softly]
You were my first true love…
And now, my forever prayer.
I still call, son…
And I know… you’re still there.
[Bridge – female voice Spoken softly or sung gently]
I called you today… but got no answer.
Then I remembered…
You got your wings yesterday.
God, hold my baby close tonight…
He was my peace, my heart, my light.
[Final Chorus – Soft and emotional]
I’m jealous of the angels
That get to hold you tonight.
No more long talks or long rides,
Just memories and candlelight.
And when my time comes to fly,
I’ll meet you in that sky so bright…
But ‘til then I’ll keep callin’,
Even if you can’t reply.
[Outro – female voice Spoken softly]
You were my first true love…
And now, my forever prayer.
I still call, son…
And I know… you’re still there.
