High in the hills of a far away land
There lived a stone hearted bitter old man
Who kept to himself and let nobody in
Nobody's lover and nobody's friend One day a boy who was lost in the night
Heard the man crying, and tip-toed inside
He was gasping for life
So he looked in his eyes
And the man said these final words: Take this money
And this address
Promise me you'll
Read this message
It said Tell her I miss her and
Tell her I love her and
Give her this necklace if she's still alive I'm sorry I left you but
When I'm in heaven I'm
Sending an angel to earth from the sky
To remember me by Now this boy was part of a family so poor
They took the money,
but he never forgot his promise
And one day he got on a plane,
Flew to the address and found a young lady
Who said that her mother had died long ago
Her father had left them and she's never known him
But sometimes she wonders
If he ever loved her
That's when the boy replied You should sit down
Look what I found
It says Tell her I miss her and
Tell her I love her and
Give her this necklace if she's still alive I'm sorry I left you but
When I'm in heaven I'm
Sending an angel to earth from the sky
To remember me by She looked at the necklace and leaned in to say
Time took this silver and turned it to grey
The glow and the sparkle cannot be retained
How can you blame me for feeling the same? So if you remember just one thing I say
Treasure your loved ones before it's too late
Like the man and the necklace
Who'd gladly relinquish
A lifetime in heaven
For once chance to say Tell her I miss her and
Tell her I love her and
Give her this necklace if she's still alive I'm sorry I left you but
When I'm in heaven I'm
Sending an angel to earth from the sky
To remember me by
