Oh, tonight I'm so far away from you
How I wish I could suddenly be there
To tell you "I love you"
Like a hundred times before
To hold you and to stroke your hair

But I'm in another time zone altogether
Where sleep is not easily found
And a split-second prayer escapes into the air
And I pray as you lay your body down...

  There'll be angels around your bed, little darlin'
  Angels around your bed
  You'll be safe from harm at the dying of the day
  With angels around your bed

Oh, absence makes my heart grow fonder
When you're out of sight, I'm out of my mind
If you could see everything around you, I wonder
Would you be surprised to find...

  There are angels around your bed, little darlin'?
  Angels around your bed
  Laughing and singing, joyful as you're sleeping
  Angels around your bed

  Angels around your bed, little darlin'
  Angels around your bed
  Surely the Lord can spare a few extra
  Angels around your bed
