As I wake from my dreams of an unhappy past
I cry for I live in the shadows that they cast
From my lonely bed of sorrow, I rise for the day
As I wipe the teardrops from my eyes, I kneel down and pray
And I'm closer to heaven then I was before
Even down on my knees, I'm six feet off the floor
God fixed and healed my broken heart and made my soul complete
Then he sent me an angel to help me on my feet
I remember that I prayed to God for someone he could share
A special love made just for me, a love beyound compare
I know miracles can happen, but I never realized
That what I'd hoped for all along was right before my eyes
Now I'm closer to heaven than I thought I'd be
A special gift from up above was given to me
I had faith in my God for I know that he cares
For he sent to me an angel to answer all my prayers
I was found because you love me, now I'm lost within your arms
Although my eyes are open wide, I'm blinded by your charms
I swear by each beat of my heart and every breath I take
That our love will last forever, this love I won't forsake
Now I'm closer to heaven with each passing day
For I'll love you more tomorrow than I did yesterday
I know our love will last forever for I asked him for a sign
So God sent me an angel to hold his hand in mine
