There is nothing so special, so tender, so sweet
So fragrant, so trusting, so grand
There is nothing in life that could ever compare
To the touch of your childs' hand
She held it up to you the day she was born
You gave her your finger to squeeze
You couldn't imagine your life without her
Now that she entered, you seemed so complete
You loved her and planned for a future
Of bikes, running races and such
You knew she would grow strong and healthy
She knew that you loved her so much
She left you last night, you don't know why
" Was it something I did or didn't do? " you cry
" NO! " God took her hand and led her back home
To be born an angel, where she never can die
There is nothing so soft, so delicate, sweet
So strong, so amazing, so grand
There is nothing on earth that can ever compare
To the touch of your angels' hand
In the still of the night, when you find yourself weeping
Til day break, and still the tears swiftly flow
When you find yourself weary, feeling lost and alone
The touch of your angel will be there you know
In the gentle breeze balmy that brushes your face
In the rain as it travels your window in streams
In the sun as it warms you and strengthens your soul
Close your eyes and relax, she will be in your dreams
No one can answer when you ask " Why? "
No one can stop the tears when they flow
No one can feel the pain that you feel
But your angel is watching and praying you know
She did not plan to leave you the way that she did
She did not want to leave the warmth of your love
But God held out his had and said, " You must come
Your work here is finished, your needed above. "
Your angels' work will never be done
She will always be at your side
Throughout your life, in good times and bad
She'll be your strength, your companion, your guide
When you meet once again on that silvery shore
When you reach for each other at last
The pain and the sorrow you've known for so long
Will all fall away, it will be in the past
As earthly life passes, and eternity starts
It's hardest for those left behind
Just believe in the touch of the Masters' Hand
It will strengthen and hold you throughout all time
