I had a friend many years ago
One tragic night he died
The saddest time of my life
For weeks and weeks I cried
Through the anger and through the tears
Ive felt his spirit through the years
Id swear, Hes watching me
Guiding me through hard times

(chorus)
I feel it once again
Its overwhelming me
His spirits like the wind
The angel guarding me
Oh, I know, oh, I know
Hes watching over me
Oh, I know, oh, I know
Hes watching over me

We shared dreams like all best friends
Blood brothers at the age of ten
We lived reckless, he paid the price
But why? Why did he have to die?
It still hurts me to this day
Am I selfish for feeling this way?
I know hes an angel now
Together well be someday

I feel it once again
Its overwhelming me
His spirits like the wind
The angel guarding me
Oh, I know, oh, I know
Hes watching over me
Oh, I know, oh, I know
Hes watching over me
