She sat in her hospital bed Drawing pictures of the sky And through all of the pain she felt She had never asked why But when the doctor walked in And said, it's time for your meds With tears in her eyes She looked at the doctor and said How big are angel wings? Are they small enough for me? Do they make them little In the size I might need? They say where I'm going I won't feel no more pain So I really need to know How big are angel wings? I can't ask Mama I know it'd make her sad I don't like to see her cry And it does the same thing to Dad And at night when I sleep I see heaven in my dreams So please won't you answer This question for me How big are angel wings? Are they small enough for me? Do they make them little In the size I might need? They say where I'm going I won't feel no more pain So I really need to know How big are angel wings? And they say where I'm going I won't feel no more pain So I really need to know now How big are angel wings?
