Analysis of Our Angel



Your little girl cries too much
My little girl makes no sound
Your little girl sleeps warm in her crib
Mine lies cold in the ground
Your little girl woke up today
My little girl never will
Your little girl laughs and plays
My little girl lies still
Your little girl makes you proud
Just as proud am i
Cause when your little girl learned to walk
My little girl learned to fly
