she appeared in the first days of december
and she vanished around christmastime
now i've never really believed in such things
but i'm pretty sure she was a present sent from heaven
i never found her wings but i'm certain she had them
refrain:
i would like to know what it was that made her
come into my life and be my angel
come into my life and be my angel
and i would like to know what made her leave
she gave me gifts of ani and sinead
all wrapped up with the ribbon of her smile
she played guitar with her eyes closed
paid no mind to bleeding on her fret board
she just wanted me to hear her song
refrain
oh angel i want to thank you
for teaching me why shut things should open
i would like to know what it was

sarah says:i met this girl named angela at a show at cafe casa one night, after which we saw or talked to each other every day for a month. we had an amazing and intense friendship that neither of us could really explain and we grew to be very close in that short period of time. then two days before christmas she moved back to manitoba and i haven't really spoken to her much since. i suppose it's no one's fault, but our own, but i miss her. if ever i met someone that could be called an angel, it was her.
