Andrew Lloyd Webber One More Angel Lyrics

One More Angel Lyrics

Father, we've something to tell you, a story of our time

A tragic but inspiring tale of manhood in its prime

You know you had a dozen sons, well, now that's not quite true

But feel no sorrow, do not grieve, he would not want you to



There's one more angel in Heaven

There's one more star in the sky

Joseph, we'll never forget you

It's tough but we're gonna get by



There's one less place at our table

There's one more tear in my eye

But Joseph, the things that you stood for

Like truth and light never die



When I think of his last great battle

A lump comes to my throat

It takes a man who knows no fear

To wrastle with a goat



His blood-stained coat is tribute to

His final sacrifice

His body may be past its peak

But his soul's in paradise



So long, little Joe

How do you [Incomprehensible]

[Incomprehensible]



There's one less place at our table

There's one more tear in my eye

But Joseph, the things that you stood for

Like truth and light never die



Carve his name with pride and courage

Let no tear be shed

If he had not laid down his life

We all would now be dead
