Angels In Waiting Chords by Tammy Cochran

I don't know how many people believe in angels, but I do.
I consider myself lucky to have two very special angels who watch over me every day.
They are my brothers, Alan and Sean, who passed away with cystic fibrosis.
They were my biggest fans and my greatest heroes.
That's why this song is so close to my heart.
I tried for about a year and a half to write this song,
but it was too emotional and I couldn't make it through.
So I sat down one day with two very talented and kind songwriters,
Jim McBride and Stuart Harris, and we wrote Angels in Waiting.
My brother Alan told me once, he said,
I'm not going to be here very long, but if you can live enough for both of us,
that would make it okay.
That is something I carry with me every day.
_ That's why this song is the last song on the album,
dedicated to my brothers, Alan and Sean.
They are my angels in waiting.
