Watching Over You

Story Behind The Song

I wrote this song the day of the shooting of the teachers and children in Newtown, CT. I needed to find a way to help not only the families that suffered a loss that day, but all those who loose a loved one, to be able to at lease cope.

Lyrics

1. Hearts are broken, tears are falling,
In the world tonight.
Sadness fills the hearts and minds;
Looking for answers - Why?

There're no answers that will make things right.
We'll never know why.

Chorus:

There are new angels in Heaven tonight.
And they're watching the ones that they love.
Saying, don't cry for me my love,
Cause you have an angel in Heaven tonight,
Watching over you. Watching over you.

2. If you look to the stars, I'll be there.
Smiling at you and winking my eye.

So that you'll know my love is endless.
I'm always in your heart.

Bridge:

We hear you pain, we know your sorrow.
And yet there is a bright tomorrow.
don't let this sadness control you.
Because your cries go not unheard.

Repeat Chorus 2X
