My Angel

You gave me wings when I was young, 
so I could learn to fly.
You stood behind me in my shadow,
And I never understood why.
You were there when time's were good,
When the Sun was always burning,
You were there when I would cry,
When my world stopped turning.
You would have crossed a barren desert, 
or swam the longest sea.
Or climbed the highest mountain
Just to hold onto me.
In my world, and in my life,
I was loved by only you.
The only dream I ever dreamed,
really did come true.
