Nashville Angel

We'd sit at your kitchen table playing cards Then you'd slowly stand and put a record on And you'd tap your toes and sing along when you'd hear your favorite song Tell me stories of the Ryman, and the stars you'd seen long gone You lit a fire in my heart To see my name in the stars I feel your hand on my shoulder Every time I step in those lights And I see the smile on your face When I sing And I know you walk beside me Guide me through my darkest night Cause you're my Nashville Angel All I've left of you are these records you played for me And the necklace that you wore to the Grand Ol' Opry And a faded worn out picture marked with stains from my tears And your whisper in my ear that one day I'll make it here I feel your hand on my shoulder Every time I step in those lights And I see the smile on your face When I sing And I know you walk beside me Guide me through my darkest night Cause you're my Nashville Angel You're my Nashville Angel
