C                                   G
Sweetheart I recall the day I first met you
                             C
I wonder if you remember the same
                                         G
We talked of the love we shared for each other
                                              C
And longed for the day we'd change your sweet name.


[Chorus]

C                                      G
Oh, I can still hear your voice in the evening
                                         C
I see your sweet face, your blue eyes so bright
                                 G
God took you away and left me so lonely
                                 C
The angels are singing in heaven tonight.


[Verse 2]

C                                          G
As the years passed away we cherished each other
                                  C
No worries or cares to darken our day
                                      G
From our little home up in the Clinch Mountains
                                        C
The savior came down and called you one day.


[Chorus]

C                                      G
Oh, I can still hear your voice in the evening
                                         C
I see your sweet face, your blue eyes so bright
                                 G
God took you away and left me so lonely
                                 C
The angels are singing in heaven tonight.


[Verse 3]

C                                    G
I'll always be true and love you, my darling
                                        C
But I know you are happy and healthy up there
                                        G
When God calls me home I'll meet you in heaven
                                              C
Please wait for me, darling, I'll meet you up there...

[Chorus]

C                                      G
Oh, I can still hear your voice in the evening
                                         C
I see your sweet face, your blue eyes so bright
                                 G
God took you away and left me so lonely
                                 C
The angels are singing in heaven tonight.
