Sometimes alone in the darkness
In the quiet of the night
I listen to the lonesome sounds
Of silence til daylight
Remembering a time
You were just a touch away
But empty is your place now
You are far, far away

You were my dear little angel
And nere a love so true
Ever was created
As for the one for me and for you
Nere again will hear your voice
Or feel your warm embrace
And only in a picture
Will I ever see your face

Now you're just a paper angel
Since the breath of life has passed
A silent paper angel
In a faded photograph A faded photograph

Oh how the warmth of life from you
Would make my heart rejoice
And how these cold and silent walls
Once echoed with your voice
No fragrance from the morning dew
To fill your empty space
And only in a picture
Will I ever see your face

Now you're just a paper angel
Since the breath of life has passed
A silent paper angel
In a faded photograph A faded photograph
