Songs of All the Angels

 

Written by John Stewart

 

This one is on “Teresa And the Lost Songs”, sadly, only on the cassette from 1992 - and not on the Homecoming Records CD from 1998. 

John, Mr, Stewart, please, this song is too good not to be on a CD.  Art and Charlie love it, too.  Lovely, lovely melody.  Words remind me of some of these ancient Irish blessings.

 

 

(C)  (Dm)  (Em)  (Dm)  (C)  (Dm)  (Em)  (Dm)

Oh, (C)find your own ho(Dm)rizon, there's a (Em)way. (Dm)

And (C)find your own ho(Dm)rizon, (C)while you're (Am)on your (G)way, (hold)

Oh, (Bb)so you won't be (Gm)lonely as you (C)go. (Em7/B) (Am)

May the (F)songs of all the (Cj7)angels (Dm)sing with(G)in your (C)soul,

May the (F)songs of all the (Em)angels (Dm7)sing with(G)in your (C)soul,

May the (F)stars of all the (C)heavens come and (Em)shine (Dm)  (G)  (hold)

The lights of (C)home.  (Dm)  (Em)  (Dm)

 

(C) And heroes are for (Dm)children, not for (Em)long. (Dm)

(C)Heroes are for (Dm)children, who (C)sing the (Am)heroes (G)songs. (hold)

And (Bb)you don't need the (Gm)cheering, it is (C)so (Em7/B) (Am)

The lights of (C)home.  (Dm)  (Em)  (Dm)  (C)  (Dm)  (Em)  (Dm)

 

Oh, (C)find your own ho(Dm)rizon, there's a (Em)way. (Dm)(G)

And (C)find your own ho(Dm)rizon, and (C)while you're (Am)on your (G)way, (hold)

Oh, (Bb)so you won't be (Gm)lonely as you (C)go. (Em7/B) (Am)

May the (Fj7)songs of all the (C)angels (Dm7)sing with(G)in your (C)soul.
