Angel Wings Aren't Cheap

(Verse 1)

She woke up early, brewed her tea,

Hummed an old tune, smiled at me.

Sunlight dancing through her hair,

Like she belonged right in the air.

She’d brush the dust off weary souls,

Fix what’s broken, make us whole.

Carried burdens none could see,

But never let them bury me.

(Pre-Chorus)

Now the house feels cold, the air so thin,

I swear I hear her whisperin’.

(Chorus)

Angel wings aren’t cheap, my friend,

They cost the love we’d give again.

The price is high, the weight is deep,

But heaven knows her soul to keep.

(Verse 2)

She kept the porch light burning bright,

A beacon in the dead of night.

She’d dry my tears with weathered hands,

Say, “Someday, love, you’ll understand.”

But understanding don’t erase,

The hollow sound, the empty space.

Her laughter echoes through these walls,

Like distant chimes in hallowed halls.

(Pre-Chorus)

And when the wind moves through the trees,

It sings her song so soft to me.

(Chorus)

Angel wings aren’t cheap, my friend,

They cost the love we’d give again.

The price is high, the weight is deep,

But heaven knows her soul to keep.

(Bridge)

I lay a rose where she now sleeps,

Trace her name, and start to weep.

I close my eyes, she holds me near,

Through every ache, through every tear.

(Chorus – Soft, Then Build)

Angel wings aren’t cheap, my friend,

They cost the love we’d give again.

The price is high, the weight is deep,

But heaven knows her soul to keep.

(Outro)

One day I’ll climb that hill so steep,

And find the love we swore to keep.

Till then, I’ll walk, but not alone,

She’s in the stars, she’s guiding me home.
