While you were sleeping

While you were sleeping you could not see
That God sent an angle to watch over thee
While you were sleeping you did not know
How beautiful the angel was and all aglow
While you were sleeping your head near your arm
The angel was watching and keeping away harm
While you were sleeping you tossed and you turned
Your mind was dreaming of someone you yearn
While you were sleeping and you started to cry
The angel with her wings wiped the tears from your eye
While you were sleeping your subconscious took control
The angel protected your life and your soul
While you were sleeping you were calling their name
Since that day you have never been the same
While you were sleeping you heard someone say
I will watch over you till your dying day
While you were sleeping just before you awoke
You thought this dream was just a wild joke
Then your eyes opened and you now see
Just how precious that life can be
