Tiny Angel

Here's the song I wrote for Christina-Taylor Green, gone too soon. I swapped out the raw audio for the processed version I sent to copyright.

TINY ANGEL

Words and Music by Alex Panzetta

Came the news without warning,
A dark cloud descended over me,
And this burning rage,
Was all that I could see,
The story of a shooting star,
Fallen to the Earth,
And all the faith in the world,
What is it worth?

Tiny Angel,
On silver wings borne alight,
Tiny Angel,
The streets of Heaven are too crowded tonight.

We were united by one of history's darkest days,
But in the end, there was nothing I could do or say,
And now you're gone far too soon,
And only questions remain,
And all the strength in the world,
Is grounded by a searing pain.

Tiny Angel,
Won't you cast the shadow of your wings over me,
Tiny Angel,
Won't you please help me to see?

Last night I dreamed I was looking out over a vast ocean of tears,
Standing on the dock, wondering what I was doing here,
Ships were visible all along the horizon line,
Lighted in quiet tribute, waiting for a sign,
Suddenly, a horn did sound, and your spirit flashed across the sky,
I reached out my hand to you and whispered my silent goodbye.

May the ones who have gone before show the way,
And bring you to a place where I hope we meet someday,
Where I can give you a nation's thanks and talk for a while,
And play a happy song to make an angel smile.

Tiny Angel,
Catch a glimpse of your shining light,
Tiny Angel,
You're a daughter to us all tonight.
