[Verse 1]
The things you taught me just a little while
Would've taken me a hundred years
I can't imagine traveling these miles
Without somebody like you here

[Chorus]
I guess I knew all along, he'd take his angels home
Because he loves them too much to let them stay
I guess I knew all along, he'd take his angels home
But I didn't know it was going to be today

[Verse 2]
I remember the places that we've been
The little things we used to do
Looking back now that's when I began
To realize that I'm a lot like you

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Friends and family help to pass the time
I'm thumbing through pictures of you
Feeling lonesome, missing you and crying
That's not what you'd want me to do

[Chorus]
