She Dances With Angels Lyrics


Tami Neilson She Dances With Angels

[Verse 1]
God was givin' out girls in Wilson County
The night her Mama first saw her pretty face
And she made her Daddy cry
When she smiled and waved goodbye walking into first grade
She does somersaults and Winter's day snow-angels
'Til her cheeks are red and Mama calls her in
Christmas Eve of '96, tinsel halo and paper wings
They use up a roll of film, while a little shepherd sings
"Hark the Herald angels, glory to the newborn King"

[Chorus]
She dances with angels
'Til she learns to fly
She dances with angels
And watches the sky

[Verse 2]
Now she wears socks with toes and ponytails and makeup
And she blushes pink when boys call on the phone
Daddy prayed for nerves of steel
When she got behind the wheel of that big truck alone
When she laughs it's all the colours of the rainbow
And when she cries, they just can't seem to find the sun
16 candles on her cake, she made a wish and blew them out
Like the light inside their hearts when she left without a sound
God gave her feet that were not made to stay on the ground

[Chorus]
She dances with angels
She's learning to fly
She dances with angels
We're watching the sky

[Bridge]
Preacher said, "Ashes to ashes," when they laid her in the ground
Nothin' here on this earth can hold their baby down
It can't hold their baby down

[Chorus]
She dances with angels
She's learning to fly
She dances with angels
Keep watching the sky
All the [?] of heaven
Can't believe their eyes
She dances with angels
I'm watching the sky
She dances with angels
I'm watching the sky

[Verse 3]
God was takin' home girls from Wilson County
The night that heaven first saw her pretty face
