She said, ââ¬Â½I've been up all night and half-scared to death
I can smell the liquor on your breath
I paid for your rehab with my Ira
Boy, your daddy be turnin' in his graveââ¬Â
She said, ââ¬Â½Son I've done all that mama can do
I can save myself but I can't save youââ¬Â
He said, ââ¬Â½I wished that you and Jesus would get off my backââ¬Â
They said his truck was doing 90 when he crashed
I bet it gets so quiet in Heaven sometimes
Even God cries when an Angel's hands are tied
They said, ââ¬Â½Honey, grown-ups do this all the timeââ¬Â
And tears welled up in the little girls eyes
They said, ââ¬Â½Now it's something that you've done
It just that mommy and daddy don't get alongââ¬Â
She said, ââ¬Â½Do you guys mean that you need a time out?
And that daddy's gonna move to a different houseââ¬Â
They said, ââ¬Â½You'll have two bedrooms, you're a lucky kidââ¬Â
She said, ââ¬Â½But what about Checkers, where's he gonna liveââ¬Â
I bet it gets so quiet in Heaven sometimes
Even God cries when an Angel's hands are tied
She prays, 'Angels watch me through the night
Stay by my side till mornin' light
God bless mama, God bless daddy
Keep us together and happyââ¬Â
I bet it gets so quiet in Heaven sometimes
Even God cries when an Angel's hands are tied
