Little Angel

I remember the day you entered my life
Was a warm, calm day in late July
Never knew a love like this
I don't think I will again

As the years went by so fast
My love grew with you as future turned to past
Nothing more rewarding than seeing your smile
My little girl you make my life worthwhile

It's time for you to fly, fly away from me, little angel
Know that now you're free from all the hurt
I will cry every day for you, little angel
I hope you find the peace you deserve

We had our laughs we had our good times
You made my days brighter than the summer sunshine
In cold winter nights you warmed my heart
Never thought our ways would part

It's time for you to fly, fly away from me, little angel
Know that now you're free from all the hurt
I will cry every day for you little angel
I hope you find the peace you deserve

My world was shattered one cruel day
When the hand of fate came and took my baby away
It makes me so damn sad to see you go
Now the Lord's grace and love you will know

It's time for you to fly, fly away from me, little angel
Know that now you're free from all the hurt
I will cry every day for you, little angel
I hope you find the peace you deserve

It's time for you to fly, fly away from me, little angel
Know that now you're free from all the hurt
I still cry every day for you, little angel
I hope you find the peace you deserve

Background: This song is very different than the others I've written.  This is more of a soft blues-rock type song as opposed to hard rock like I usually write.  This lyric is based on a recurring dream I'm having about a father who's young daughter passes away.  I wanted to try to make emotion a priority in this lyric, so let me know if I did well on that.
