I Saw an Angel Tonight

You prayed for me every night
When I was only a child
I can't imagine growing up
Without your love
Now I believe in the truth
'Cause I saw Jesus in you
And I'm so thankful
For the way you brought me up

You said that He'd never let me go
Well, I feel His arms of love
And I just want you to know

I saw an angel tonight
Within the light of your eyes
I heard you praying
As I drifted into a dream
I saw an angel tonight
And as you knelt by my side
I knew that love was covering me

When I was weak, you were strong
When I was sad, there was song
With every memory
There's an everlasting peace
And thanks to you, I have faith
And love that can't be replaced
You took this child
And you made a man of me

You said that He'd never let me go
Well, I feel His arms of love
And I just want you to know

I saw an angel tonight
Within the light of your eyes
I heard you praying
As I drifted into a dream
I saw an angel tonight
And as you knelt by my side
I knew that love was covering me

Now I lay me down to sleep
I'll pray for you faithfully
And when it's hard to believe
Take cover under my wings
You shelter me

I saw an angel tonight
Within the light of your eyes
I heard you praying
As I drifted into a dream
I saw an angel tonight
And as you knelt by my side
I knew that love was covering me

I saw an angel tonight
Within the light of your eyes
I heard you praying
As I drifted into a dream
I saw an angel tonight
And as you knelt by my side, whoa-oh...
I knew your love was covering me, yeah

Oh...
I saw an angel tonight
