She watched by my cradle

through long, sleepless nights

and all through the years

She echoed my laughter, she counted my tears

In the arms of my mother, I came to believe

She taught me to follow the pathway he marked
    D/F#       F#dim7        Em           Bm
She guided my steps when the journey grew dark
       C               G           Am7         Cm
And I know there were dangers that I could not see

But God sent an angel
