Lyrics
She lay quietly in her bed on Christmas eve
Crying softly to her teddy bear so nobody would hear
It's her first Christmas, since her mommy's been gone
And the sadness that she feels is oh so strong
Her dad comes in, and wraps her in his arms
He knows exactly how she feels, because he loved her mom so much
In a while, they cry themselves to sleep
And as they lay there together, they both dreamed
Chorus:
They saw mommy up in heaven, singing with the Angels
Smiling as they sang about, the birth of Christ the King
And they knew, that on this special night
She was with them still
Their Christmas Angel mommy
Gift wrapped, up in Angel wings
When they woke, they smiled to each other
She ran downstairs to see
What might be there under the tree
A gift that read, 'From Mommy' caught her eye
And she sat down and gently held it in her arms
She untied the ribbon carefully
Saved the wrapping paper
Inside the box she found a crystal angel
A letter from her mom that said 'Please don't be sad', you have an angel watching over you.
Repeat Chorus
Her Christmas Angel mommy
Gift wrapped up in angel wings
