Prompt:
[Intro] (4 Bars) (Piano / Guitar) [Verse 1] (8 Bars) She was so beautiful and young, So many dreams left undone, So many songs left unsung... She was my one, my only one. [Verse 2] (8 Bars) She left me crying all alone in the rain, No one there to feel my hurt, to feel my pain. I lost the only love in my life, (Vocal break) Why, oh why, did she have to die? [Verse 3] (8 Bars) Twenty-five years have gone by since that night, My whole world changed in the blink of an eye. No one to blame except for the rain, I dream about her every night just to ease the pain. [Instrumental Break] (8 Bars) Piano Cello (This is the wordless cry of a father.) [Bridge] (8 Bars) I see the dress you never wore, the aisle we’ll never walk, The empty chair at every table, the way we used to talk. I’m stuck here in the "what could be," while you are in the light, Just a father left to wonder in the middle of the night. (Crescendo) Oh, I’m still searching! [Verse 4] (8 Bars) (slow drop to total silence. warm piano note.) My heart still aches after all this time, "What a wasted life," I think in my mind. I’m left wondering how I’ll ever go on, [STOP MUSIC - SILENCE] So I look to the clouds and ask God... Why, oh why... did she have to die? [DRUM FILL - EXPLOSION] [Pre-Chorus] (4 Bars) (Driving tempo. Intense energy. Pounding drums.) I’m searching through my memories for that moment in time, between the world I’m living in and the one she left behind. My mind is full of sorrow as the clouds begin to part, I feel the heavens opening to the beating of my heart. [Chorus] (8 Bars) (Maximum Power. Anthemic. ) Angel in the sky looking down on me, Angel in the sky, she will always be. Why did she have to leave me? God only knows the reason why she had to die, She’s just my angel, my precious angel... she's my angel in the sky. [Outro] (4 Bars) (Music fades to solitary piano. Very soft.) My only one... My angel in the sky. (End on a single, ringing piano note into silence)
