Lyrics
Verse
My angel lies in bed
Bandana on a small head
Eyes look up, and I hear
When will I go home
I just wanna know
Hiding the truth I know
Holding back tears I wanna cry
Words stick in my throat
I say maybe tomorrow
Chorus
Maybe tomorrow
Those words come back to me
Every moment I believe
My angel will be with me
Verse
I look around at crayon drawings
On a long white string
Smiley faces word balloons
Crooked letters spell get well soon
My angel has a dream
No more pain just light
Lots of time to run and play
No worries now 'cause I'm alright
Repeat Chorus
Verse
My angel lies in bed
Bandana on a small head
Lean in for a kiss
I hear a whisper
When will I go home
Chorus
Maybe tomorrow
Those words come back to me
Every moment I believe
My angel will be with me
Chorus
Maybe tomorrow
Those words come back to me
My heart believes
My angel is here with me
Here with me
