I was with her there In a hospital chair The days she got the news When we met eyes she started to cry So hard she couldn't breathe I said I love you don't worry I'm in it 'til the end If I could I'd take your cancer But I'm waiting on an answer from god This life seems hopeless I'm hopeful but I guess He wants his angel back She buries her head in my shoulder I try to consult her I try just to hold But what do you say when it's gonna be OK is a lie, a lie I said I love you don't worry I'm in it 'til the end If I could I'd take your cancer But I'm waiting on an answer from god This life seems hopeless I'm hopeful but I guess He wants his angel back He wants his angel back (He wants his angel back) If I could I'd take your cancer But I'm waiting on an answer from god It seems apparently She must mean more to you than me Don't take my beautiful girl If I could I'd take your cancer But I'm waiting on an answer from god This life seems hopeless I'm hopeful but I guess He wants his angel back
