Douwe Bob Angel Child Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This is a story of a young prince
Who never got to taste the sweet things
He never got to spread his wild wings
To have a chance to fly
This is a story 'bout a heartache
The kind that makes a father's hands shake
The kind that makes a mother's heart break
And makes them question life

[Refrain]
Na-na, na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na, na-na-na
[Verse 2]
We had our time of no tomorrow
There was no pain, no sorrow
Now it feels every smile was borrowed
My body yearning for the bottle
I hope that as we're growing older
The wеight gets lighter on our shoulders
But sincе you're gone, your mother's colder
And all that I can do is hold her

[Chorus]
Oh, Gabriel, my angel child
This is no goodbye
'Cause when I close my eyes
I keep the dream alive Oh, I'll see you in the sky tonight
And I'll watch your starlight glow
And you'll never leave
So I'll never let you go

[Refrain]
Na-na, na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na, na-na-na

[Bridge]
Maybe someday we'll be there with you
Amongst the stars of red and bright blue
But until then shine on your mother
Be a guiding light for your big brother
Oh, every smile is worth the crying
And every fight is worth the fighting
My Little Star, you just keep on shining
[Chorus]
Oh, Gabriel, my angel child
This is no goodbye
'Cause when I close my eyes
I keep the dream alive
Oh, I'll see you in the sky tonight
And I'll watch your starlight glow
And you'll never leave
So I'll never let you go

[Outro]
This is no goodbye
My young prince, my angel child
