Mahalia Jackson
Guardian Angels
[Verse 1]
Guardian angels around my bed
Joining me in my prayers
They hush the shadows when they dance about
They shoo away the bears
Guardian angels to comfort me
If I should wake in the night
They gather all my dreams
Their halos are my light
[Bridge]
They dry my tears
If I should weep
They tuck me in
They rouse me from my sleep
[Verse 2]
Guardian angels around my bed
Standing by till I rise
There's one with shiny wings that dances about
And shows me Paradise
[Bridge]
They dry my tears
If I should weep
They tuck me in
They rousе me from my sleep
[Verse 2]
Guardian angels around my bed
Standing by till I risе
There's one with shiny wings who dances and holds my hand
And shows me Paradise
