Beth Hirsch - Mary The Angel Lyrics

On Tuesday mornings you wake her up
Take the dirty clothes and be on your way
In the afternoon when she got home
You share a snack and talk about the day

You'd fry chicken at her birthday party
For that alone they would've stayed
To the little girl you were her greatest present
To other kids you were just the maid

If angels can fly then you can fly
If angels can fly then you'd
Go with her to your neighborhood
To play with children door to door
Unaware of heat between your colors
Eternal war of man rich and poor

And home, there was no home
With you sheâ€~d run away
You said your mum and dad
They love you so
And gentle strength convinced the girl

If angels can fly then you can fly
If angels can fly then you'd

When you had a stroke on that summer's night
The teenage girl nearly thought she died
She wanted bad to wake you up
She wanted bad to wake you up

If angels can fly then you can fly
If angels can fly then you can
You can
