We'd just finished our dinner and I'd gone into the [Ebm] den and turned [F] on the [Gb] TV. _ _
When she walked in and kissed me on the cheek like a million times [Db] before. _
_ And she said, [Bbm] honey, I know it's late, but if you don't mind, _ [Ebm] my shopping's gotten a little behind.
_ [Bb] So I think I'll drive [Ab] downtown to the grocery store.
[Db] _ _ _
Well, I didn't look up, just nodded okay and asked her to [F] hand me an ice tray.
_ [Gb] _ And when she [Db] did, _ I reached [Gb] over and squeezed her hand.
_ And then [Db] she left. _
[Bbm] And I shuddered a minute _ [Eb] at the thought of my [Ab] world without her in it.
[Db] And I _ reassuringly saw the touch of my wedding ring.
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ [Cm] Well, [Db] I must have been dozing because I didn't hear the door.
And I thought, now that's strange.
I'd never [Abm] done that before.
[Db] _ _ [Gb] _
But I looked up and she was standing by my chair.
_ Kind of snuffing on [Db] me, I said.
_ _ And she smiled [Bbm] and nodded her head.
_ And I told her that [Ebm] she looked just like an angel standing there.
[Ab] _ _
For a long moment she didn't [Db] say a thing.
_ And then she caressed her whole wedding ring.
_ _ [F] And I thought I [Ebm] saw a [Gb] teardrop in her eye.
_ _ _ _ Honey, you'll never know how much [Ebm] I love you, she [Db] said. _
_ [Bbm] And I thought of the many years [Ebm] that we'd been wed.
_ [Ab] As I told her that [Db] no one could be as happy as I.
_ And then the [Ebm] strangest feeling [Db] filled the room. _
Not one of happiness, [Ab] but one of gloom.
[Db] _
[F] And for the first time in my [Gb] life, _ I saw sadness in her face.
_ I reached down to touch her and she drew away.
[Db] _
And she told me again that [Bbm] ours was a love that time could never [Ebm] erase. _
_ And then I thought I [Ab] heard a thousand voices [Bbm] singing.
_ [Cm] _ [Db] But I realized it was the telephone.
_ _ And that's when I called the halo _ _ around [Gb] her pretty golden hair. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _
And I knew [Ab] that when I looked back, she wouldn't [Db] be there.
Because _ it was an [Abm] angel's way of saying I heard laughs. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
