Willie Nelson - Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground

If you had not have fallen
Then I would not have found you
Angel flying too close to the ground!
And I patched up your broken wing
And hung around a while,
Tried to keep your spirits up
And your fever down.
I knew someday that you would fly away
For love's the greatest healer to be found.
So leave me if you need to,
I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground!
Fly on, fly on past the speed of sound!
I'd rather see you up,
Than see you down
Leave me if you need to,
I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground!

This song reminds me of my wonderful son, Dalt. He left this earth at age 32. He died from a lung disease he'd had his entire life. He was loved by many. He is missed by all who knew him.

Life can be so great, your friends... family and all the things that make life worth while... then as easliy as they came, they leave us, our hearts sad and broken and only memories to sustain us. I have lost all of my family, most recently my brother, he passed away Nov 19-2011... never again will we share old times and dreams. It is the tone and rhythm of songs like this that makes you realize how sad life can be.

sorrow is dark sweetness that country helps chase down with a beer of melody
