My Little Angel
Composer(s): George Young; Harry Vanda
Performer(s): William Shakespeare (aka John Cave)



It was on a cold December afternoon
Doesn't seem that long ago
I was sitting on my feet by my old fireplace
When in walked my little girl home from school
And I could see that something was wrong
By the tears that were rolling down her face

And she said Daddy, Daddy at school today
Somebody told me a lie
And after hearin' what she had heard
I told her not to cry
It hurt to see her cry

Because she's my, my little angel
My little angel, my little angel when she smiles
Oh yes, she's my, my little angel
My little angel, and I don't ever wanna see her cry

What she heard was that angel's didn't really exist
That they were just a part of fables, fairytales, any ol' how
Of course there are angels I said
Everybody has an angel that takes care of them
In fact I know there's a real live angel right now

And she said Daddy, Daddy please tell me where
And tell me how do you know
And I said, easy, if you listen close
It's not too far to go
And this is how I know

Because you're my, my little angel
My little angel, my little angel when you smile
Oh yes, you're my, my little angel
My little angel, and I don't ever wanna see you cry

Now I miss her dearly since she left that day
But I know she is near me every hour, every day
Because she's, because she's my, my little angel
My little angel, my little angel, yes she's mine

Ah, she's so fine, my little angel, my little angel
And I know that she's with me all the time
With me all the time, my little angel
My little angel, my, my little angel
