Way back in the hills, when a boy, I once wanderedBuried deep in her grave lies a girl that I loveShe was called from this earth, a jewel for heavenMore precious than diamonds more precious than goldA jewel here on Earth, a jewel in HeavenShe'll brighten the kingdom around God's great throneMay the angels have peace, God bless her in heavenThey've broken my heart and they left me to roamWhen a girl of sixteen, we courted each otherShe promised someday to become my sweet wifeI bought her the ring to wear on her fingerBut the angels they called her to heaven one nightA jewel here on Earth, a jewel in HeavenShe'll brighten the kingdom around God's great throneMay the angels have peace, God bless her in heavenThey've broken my heart and they left me to roamThis world has its wealth, its trials and troublesMother earth holds her treasures of diamonds and goldBut it can't hold the soul of one precious jewelShe's resting in peace with the heavenly foldMay the angels have peace, God bless her in heavenThey've broken my heart and they left me to roam From Letras Mania
