She loved him most when his eyes were gray
The palest shade of a winter day
They filled her with a raging fire
And a bittersweet desire
She shined for him like candlelight
That softly beckons in the night
But he said no right to her face
Then simply turned and walked away
Chorus
All Heaven watched from way on high
True love given and denied
And while her heart was broke and bleed抧
Sorrowful angels wept into their wings
She wore him like a lock and chain
Only in dreams she spoke his name
By day it slipped upon her tongue
The taste of unrequited love
Now her hair is long and gray
The palest shade of a winter day
She never took a ring of gold
She swears she never loved a soul
Chorus
All Heaven watched from way on high
True love given and denied
And while her heart was broke and bleed抧
Sorrowful angels wept into their wings
Sorrowful angels wept into their wings
She loved him most when his eyes were gray
Sorrowful Angels She loved him most when his eyes were gray The palest shade of a winter day They filled her with a raging fire And a bittersweet desire She shined for him like candlelight That softly beckons in the night But he said no right to her face Then simply turned and walked away Chorus All Heaven watched from way on high True love given and denied And while her heart was broke and bleed抧 Sorrowful angels wept into their wings She wore him like a lock and chain Only in dreams she spoke his name By day it slipped upon her tongue The taste of unrequited love Now her hair is long and gray The palest shade of a winter day She never took a ring of gold She swears she never loved a soul Chorus All Heaven watched from way on high True love given and denied And while her heart was broke and bleed抧 Sorrowful angels wept into their wings Sorrowful angels wept into their wings She loved him most when his eyes were gray Explain Request ×
