When The Angels Whispered Stay

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sometimes the road grows quiet and long And heaven holds what once was ours We learn to breathe, we learn to carry on Through all the lonely midnight hours But grace has ways of finding broken wings And love returns like morning light [Chorus] I had the very best Now I have the best for the rest of my life A heart I thought was done Found the courage to love again Through the tears and the fear and the faith in the fight God gave me this second chance to shine [Verse 2] Out of the blue the angels whispered low Don't be afraid, don't walk away My heart took flight when heaven said to go And trust the love that came to stay A generous soul with hands that hold so tight Ray, you conquered all my doubt and pain [Chorus] I had the very best Now I have the best for the rest of my life A heart I thought was done Found the courage to love again Through the tears and the fear and the faith in the fight God gave me this second chance to shine [Bridge] Should I leave or should I stay The angels said do not stray God's own hand wrote this destiny Ray, you were always meant for me [Verse 3] Now eighty-five candles burn so bright For this man who gave me wings once more A love I never imagined, pure and right A new beginning worth waiting for So here's to peace, to love, to all our days Happy birthday to my sweet dear Ray [Chorus] I had the very best Now I have the best for the rest of my life A heart I thought was done Found the courage to love again Through the tears and the fear and the faith in the fight God gave me this second chance to shine [Outro] A great love can never be dismissed Ray, you're heaven's gift I never could resist
