When the day begins an angel is near

Whispering encouragement in my ear

My day gets long before it even begins

And looking ahead everything's grim

As the day goes on it gets swift and tough

My angel and I have to keep up

Assaulted on all sides we both face defeat

Throughout the day numerous battles fought

We almost get beat.

When the day is done we both wearily retire

Tomorrow looks the same, bogged down in mire

Day to day we must go on though we grow tired

And at night dream of a day we'll no longer be under fire

May angels be with you is the prayer that I pray

As I retire at the end of each day

For among angels is where you do belong

As sure as the years of our lives are long

So great is the service it may go unseen

Undercover angels with hidden wings

Whether it's only for minutes or hours we stay

When the day starts out rough

and we have to get away

I walk through the door and it brightens the day

It could be grilled hamburgers or hotdogs

Or playing cards and watching the antics of the dog

It doesn't matter what happens only that we're there

Cause it gives me a reason to get through the next day

This is the debt I try to repay

though it's never enough

For keeping me sane

when the anger flows through every vein

So when your time comes sad though we may be

May flights of angels line up wanting to carry you over

Their wings so white and soft as clover

With robes long and billowy swaying like trees

To go before the Lord everyone on bended knee

And receive the reward I could never repay

As long as I tried or how much I say

For the love and friendship you have given me
