My Time with the Angels versuri

My Time with the Angels lyrics by Jim White, Trey Blake

Verse 1
It was in the early part of winter
That’s when I first remember
When I beheld them angels out there in the barn
I saw a bright light above me
As my family slept not far away
I saw the stars moving
They looked like targets in a shooting arcade in Paris
Just like targets in a shooting arcade in Paris

Verse 2
Then, suddenly, them angels
They removed me from my body
And I flew high above this world
I saw the lights of distant cities
I saw miracles and wonders
And I didn’t mind that I was leaving this farm where I grew up
No, I didn’t mind one little bit to leave this farm where I grew up

Chorus
‘Cause I had me a time with them angels
A mighty fine time with them angels
I laughed so hard with them angels
That I never wanted to come home
I never wanted to come home

Verse 3
Since Papa abandoned our family
For these three long years we’ve struggled
As I worked the farm each day
I’d wonder why them angels
Would not help me with my mother
Or ease my sister’s suffering
So in the barn that night I told them
How I wish we could all just grow wings and fly away up into heaven
Why can’t we all just grow wings and fly away up into heaven?

Verse 4
And that’s when the angels whispered to me
That they were answering my prayers
So they flew into the house
As I watched from the barn
And then everything went swimmy
As I felt the weight of the world just lifting off of my shoulders
That weight, it just lifted off of my shoulders

Chorus
Then I had me a time with them angels!
A mighty fine time with them angels!
I laughed so hard with them angels
That I never wanted to come home
I never wanted to come home

Verse 5
Now I guess that sheriff, he don’t believe me
When I say it was them angels
That burned down our farmhouse
While I slept out in the barn
But now that he’s released me
Well, I can go and find my father
And I can tell him about the angels
Before I send him off to heaven
I’ll send that man right off to heaven!

Verse 6
And when that’s done I will just walk on
Toward the distant horizon
That has always remembered the sound of my name
Where there’s a world waiting for me
Where I can start myself a family
Where with children bouncing on my knee
I can tell them all the story

Chorus
I had me a time with them angels!
A mighty fine time with them angels!
I laughed so hard with them angels
That I never wanted to come home
I never wanted to come home
I never wanted to come home
I never wanted to come home
