Tonight, I saw an angel sing
Though never know her name
She fondled brilliant diamond ring
Flashed between refrains

Tonight, I heard an angel cry
Though who or what denied?
Her longing heart now mystified
A friendship fawned and tried

Tonight, I held an angel dear
Enveloped in my arms
Name so softly whispered clear
Wiser than the psalms

Tonight, I sought forgotten hope
Wandered from elsewhere
In memories of stories told
With one who truly cared
