"Watch the newborn roses grow, it's a pretty sight to see

You, my son, shall blossom as the flower below

There's a place for angels on the clouds so high
       Em    D         C             D      G
I must be an angel, in heaven I will stay

If you ever need me, I'll hear each word you pray"

Now her raindrops fall no more, who will take her place?
               D               Am          D        G
Will I live to blossom full or wither into space?
     Em      D     C               D      G
Many times I wonder on the clouds above
      Bm      C     Am   D       Bm      E        Am
Is it my dear mother who showers me with love?
