No there werent no halo above her beautiful brown hair 
No he never saw her wings he always knew that they were there 
Lord she had this way of knowin when he needed her the most 
Its like she had some kind of connection with the father son 
And the holy ghost 

Lord know it wasnt cold as hell 
Like everybody thought it would be 
Lord it was actually a beautiful july morning 
When he and that preacher man came walkin 
Up out of that tree 

He loved her cause she made him wanna be 
A better man 

And he was.
