SPECIAL ANGEL

Special Angel come to me
In spite of all my misery
Lift me from this hollow den
Make me whole to love again

I didn't ask to go to Vietnam
But my country called, so here I am
Now that I'm torn up in my mind
Please, please don't leave me behind

Special Angel do you see
All the hope you give me
Dreams of us play in my mind
In no other's love I'll find

Special Angel hear me cry
Horrors in my head can't be seen by eye
Clean the pain until I'm free
I still believe someday, you'll come for me

Special Angel I pray it's true
Your love will guide and show you how
To make me sane again, here and now
Months or years I do not care
For in my heart, I know, my special Angel will be there.
