lyrics

I was a stranger in your perfect land
And you reached out a welcome hand
To one who thought that he's heard it all,
You softened my heart with an angel's call.

I heard a voice so heavenly.
Sounded like an angel was calling me.

If I could have captured that melody
I'd've held it in my heart for eternity.
To hear that song sung so sublime:
Two souls adrift were now entwined.

And I heard a voice so heavenly

And though I knew that this song must end,
Still I've longed to hear it once again.
Though I know that dreams do slip away,
I'll treasure that song 'til my dying day.
