2Angels

A song I wrote years ago which I though needed a cello. A different slant on love after life.

I thought I saw a white dove flying over my head
Could have been an Angel but I wasn’t even dead

But then I saw an Angel standing by my side
She turned around and smiled at me just before I died

And I see that Angel smiling as I finish off my song
One day I mean to ask her just where I got it wrong.

Instrumental………..

And if you see a white dove standing by your side
Just let him take your hand love, let him be your guide

And we will fly together for ever and a day
Two very special Angels with nothing in our way

And we will fly together for ever and a day
Two very special Angels with nothing in our way


Realtracks I added are:

RT1121 Bass, Acoustic, CountryWaltz
RT1814 Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking CelticAir Ev
RealGuitar 362 Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming
RT1856_Cello, with multriffs

A nice song, Chris.

The cello works well for it.

Shades of Roger Whittacker/Ralph McTell/Rod McKuen/Pacabell's Canon.
Odd that this leans to the right - both cello & voice being dominant sounds and both tilted right.
Nice work apart from the lean - hope it's not a coded political statement!

Thanks for the comments Ray. I'll have to look at the lean to the right, cause if anything I tend to lean to the left. ( An uncoded political statement grin )

Yep, cello is a excellent choice!

Mellow tune, I enjoyed listening.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Good song! A bit more to the left is always nice wink

There was a few words I missed here and there - probably because English is not my native language. For the same reason I like when people post the lyrics.

Keep up the good work!

Nicely done smile Very, very pretty and easy on the ears. It flows gorgeously, and the cello was an amazing touch. I thoroughly enjoyed your vocals as well on this.

You should be proud of this one - thanks for sharing!

@ Janice and Bud,
Thank you for the nice feedbck, I appreciate it.

It was played at my brother in law's funeral a couple of years ago. He had cared for my sister during her terminal cancer, and passed away just three weeks after my sister died. I sent the song to my niece to try and comfort her a little and she used it at his funeral which seemed to make sense. So there were two more special angels.
