My Angel

Kellie Pickler · Small Town Girl [2006]

Every day when school got out

I'd get off the bus and I'd run down

That old dirt road where you were waiting for me

On the front porch in that blue swing

You'd be smiling and we would sing

'Amazing Grace' and 'Jesus Loves Me'



You were like my mother

You were my best friend

You were everything I want to be

And all the good inside of me

There's never been

Never been another

That loved me like you did

My grandmother, my angel



Even though I can' touch your face

I feel you with me every day

I wish you could see all my dreams comin true

When I get lost I close my eyes

And I feel you shinin down so bright

I feel you shinin down on me



You were like my mother

You were my best friend

You were everything I want to be

And all the good inside of me

There's never been

Never been another

That loved me like you did

My grandmother, my angel



You were like my mother

You were my best friend

You were everything I want to be

And all the good inside of me

There's never been

Never been another

That loved me like you did

My grandmother, my angel

My angel
