Story Behind The Song

My family has suffered the loss of a newborn . Years later, We were blessed with twins- a boy and a girl - "twin angels" from heaven. We feel that our first "angel" is looking after his brother and sister.

Song Description

A young girl most likely has heard that someone near and dear to her is now "with the angels." She wants to know more about them.

Lyrics

'WHERE ARE THE ANGELS?"

VERSE(DAD)
Kids ask the simplest questions,
That you can't deny,
But sometimes, the simplest questions
Are the ones that make you cry.

One day in Autumn,
My child was on my knee,
A question framed her big brown eyes,
Here's what she said to me::

CHORUS(GIRL)
Daddy, tell me, where are the angels?
Where do they sleep?
Daddy, tell me, what do they look like,
And what do they eat?
Can they fly above the trees?
Do they like the world they see?
Daddy, tell me, where are the angels?
Are they watching over me?

Daddy, tell me all about the angels,
What do they wear?
Daddy, tell me, do they carry backpacks?
What color is their hair?
Can they fly up to the sun?
Are they sad or are they fun?
Daddy, tell me, where are the angels?
Can I, Daddy, have just one?

(DAD)
Now I'll tell you all about the angels,
They're always where we are,
In your room or at your favorite playground,
They're never very far,
On your pillow where you sleep
Like the angel at your feet,
She watches over you, my precious angel,
Yes, we have our own to keep.

VERSE(DAD)
Kids ask the simplest questions,
That you can't deny,
But sometimes, the simplest questions
Are the ones that make you cry.
