when the light grew bright i followed so close
knowing what lie ahead and i began to hope
it came kind of calm i felt it was time
i knew in my heart i was ready to fly

i stood at the gates of heavens bliss
too shocked stunned and blind to know you i would miss
though spoiled and cheered in a white beauty of this
of you i began to think and you i began to miss

i asked to watch to be your guide and now i stand and sit at your side
i follow you thru good and thru bad times
when your heart aches and want me to hold
you grasp for me not knowing im there you cant be told

i walk beside you through school and through home
i watch as away from dependant life you begin to roam
you look for college and i look on as you go
you look for a wife and i look on as you know

when you fall in love im there too
hugging you softly as i always used to
only you do not know that i am here with you
and to you i will always stay true

i'll be your gaurdian angel your gift from God
to guide you and lead you from here up above
when i can i'll protect you and when i cant i'll help cope
when you think of me i'll know and give you hope

so when you lay in bed at nite and remember only our love
know im here and watching from above
and when you cry to wish i was there know that i am
know that im there with you holding your hand
