the vanishing angel

I'm sitting in the rain & I don't know what to do
Together for so many years, life can't go on without you
Baby why'd you leave, you didn't have to go
Why you left so soon, I guess I'll never know

Oh you left without a reason, you left before goodbye
Baby why'd you have to go, why'd you up & die
I guess that wise ol' saying, that only the good die young
Kills me now to think it's true this whisper leaves my tongue

You were my high school sweetheart, always by my side
Now I guess I really see you were an angel in disguise
Cuz in times past, while you were on this earth
You opened up my eyes, and let me see my worth

You really helped me baby, more than any one can know
Because you were my angel sent to help me down below
My angel in disguise was right before my eyes
And now you're gone
