Dear angel ever at my side,
How loving you must be –
To leave your home in heaven above,
To guard a child like me.
When I’m far away from home,
Or maybe hard at play –
I know you will protect me,
From harm along the way.
Your beautiful and shining face,
I see not, though you’re near.
The sweetness of your lovely voice,
I can not really hear.
When I pray, you’re praying too,
Your prayer is just for me.
But when I sleep, you never do,
You’re watching over me
