	Story Behind the Song Several years ago, I lost my mother to cancer, and last year my father to cancer as well. This song is in tribute to my late parents, whom I will never forget. I wrote this song to honor their memory. I hope it will have meaning for you as it does for me in that it describes the helpless feeling that I felt the day I lost someone very close to my heart. For me it was the day that I burried my mother. My uncle who I hadn't seen in years came over to me while I was in the shade under a tree overlooking the valley in which my mother was laid to rest, and said "Tim, this is the Loneliest Day of Your Life". His words sank in deep, as they were never more true than that very moment. As I turned to look at him, a tear rolled down from my eyes, and I hugged him as he too had felt the loss of a dearly beloved sister. I hope this song can help some of you out there deal with such a rough time in your lives. But remember, life does goe on, and all we can do is try to remember the good things about those loved ones that we have lost. None of us are gauranteed anything in this world, so everyday is special. Don't sweat the little stuff, and remember, everything is the little stuff. Lyrics I woke up to the sounds of church bells again, A long cold howling in the wind, An angels touch had come again, A mother's child left alone, While the angels carried on... Silence is sudden on a Sunday morning, Though I see you, I still remember, Cold and alone, I stand before you, Shaking my hands, wondering why, An Angel's touch had passed me by... Time has a way of killing anger, Yet many days go unforgiven On borrowed time is a life we're living Under a gun, wondering why, no we don't know why, This heavy load is our cross to bear, We are all forsaken, all alone in despair, This heavy load is our cross to bear, So fly away, (Feels like heaven above is calling me) Sweet yesterday, (Because your love has set me free) So fly away, (Will I know if you will remember me...) Sweet yesterday, (Because the Angels have set you free...) You're an Angel today... You're an Angel today, So fly away, You're an Angel today, So fly away.... Life so short, yet incomplete, Is all we are, less we defeat, And life goes on, while those we lose, Fade into time, before we choose...
