Randy Travis - Angels Lyrics

(Harold McNalley, Buckie Moore & Troy Seals)

(Spoken)
Me and some of the boys were sitting around the other night
Started talking about politics, religion, love an' life
And what a shame it was about 9-11
An' what about Hell an what about Heaven.

And is there or isn't there angels here on earth?
And then one guy said, ''Well, you can take that for what it's worth
If it's somthing I can see or something I can touch
Well, I might believe in all that stuff.''
So, I just had to say to him:

(Sang)
''Are you telling me you've never seen an angel?
Never felt the presence of one standing by?
No robe of white, no halo in sight?
Well, you missed the most obvious thing
Man are you blind?
Just look in your mother's eyes.''

(Spoken)
And then I said, ''Who went through the pain an' smiled through the tears
On the day of your birth?
She counted your fingers and toes an' thanked God you were whole
Son, you oughta know who loved you first.
That's right.''

''An' who always came runnin' everytime you cried out?
An' how many more things have you forgotten about?
An' who tried their best to teach you wrong from right?
And how many nights did she leave on the light
While she waited and prayed that you came in?
An' who'll be there for you right up to the end?
Think about it now.''

(Sang)
''Are you telling me you've never seen an angel?
Never felt the presemce of one standing by?
No robe of white, no holo in sight
Well. you missed the most obvious thing
Ah, man are you blind?
Just look in your mother's eyes.''

''Ah, man are you blind?
Just look in your mother's eyes.
That's right...''
