Two little angels wake at dawn,
Two little angels play on the lawn.
Two little angels listen for my call,
Two little angels play with a ball.
One little angel went first to play,
A little brown angel, on a sunny day.
Didn’t know where she was going,
But knew she shouldn’t stay.
Her little head damp with my tears
As she went away.
Many, many years went by
For a puff the color of snow.
A sweet and gentle angel,
Then it was time for her to go.
I told the second angel,
Another’s expecting you!
You two play together
Until I get there, too.
Two little angels jump and run,
Two little angels nap in the sun.
Two little angels wait for my touch,
Two little angels who I love so much.
