[Verse 1] God was givin out girls in Wilson County The night her Mama first saw her pretty face And she made her Daddy cry When she smiled and waved goodbye walking into first grade She does somersaults and Winters day snowangels Til her cheeks are red and Mama calls her in Christmas Eve of 96, tinsel halo and paper wings They use up a roll of film, while a little shepherd sings Hark the Herald angels, glory to the newborn King [Chorus] She dances with angels Til she learns to fly She dances with angels And watches the sky [Verse 2] Now she wears socks with toes and ponytails and makeup And she blushes pink when boys call on the phone Daddy prayed for nerves of steel When she got behind the wheel of that big truck alone When she laughs its all the colours of the rainbow And when she cries, they just cant seem to find the sun 16 candles on her cake, she made a wish and blew them out Like the light inside their hearts when she left without a sound God gave her feet that were not made to stay on the ground [Chorus] She dances with angels Shes learning to fly She dances with angels Were watching the sky [Bridge] Preacher said, Ashes to ashes, when they laid her in the ground Nothin here on this earth can hold their baby down It cant hold their baby down [Chorus] She dances with angels Shes learning to fly She dances with angels Keep watching the sky All the [?] of heaven Cant believe their eyes She dances with angels Im watching the sky She dances with angels Im watching the sky [Verse 3] God was takin home girls from Wilson County The night that heaven first saw her pretty face
