Orion's Song (Little Angel)

Orion’s Song (Little Angel)



I know I only met you yesterday
But you already stole my heart away
And I don’t care what all the doctors say
I really need you so you have to stay
Little Angel of mine

I’ve been here for hours beside your crib
Watching your chest rise and fall
Each pause in movement’s filling me with dread
No, I can’t bear this at all

(Chorus)
Little Angel, don’t let go
Your breathing’s light and it’s hard I know
Heaven’s calling like a distant star
But I’m begging you stay where you are
Little Angel of mine

Ten tiny fingers
Ten tiny toes
I’ve counted each a thousand times I know
The softest skin and the softest hair
The brightest eyes I’ve seen anywhere
I’ll take in every detail I can find
Of this little Angel of mine

(Chorus)
Little Angel, don’t let go
Your breathing’s light and it’s hard I know
Heaven’s calling like a distant star
But I’m begging you stay where you are
Little Angel of mine

And each day that passes I watch you sleep
A helpless witness as you grow weak
I can only hold you as you fade away
And softly say

Little Angel, just let go
You fought for life so hard I know
But heaven’s calling like a distant star
It’s so much better there than where you are
No more tears and no more pain
All of the angel’s praising Jesus’ name
Don’t let me keep you I’ll get there someday
I love you so much and that’ll never change
See you in heaven, little Angel of mine

Go to heaven, little Angel of mine
