The Alan Peters Orchestra And Chorus - One More Angel in Heaven
Father, we've something to tell youA story of our time
A tragic but inspiring tale
Of manhood in its prime
You know you had a dozen sons...
Well now that's not quite true
But feel no sorrow do not grieve
He would not want you to
There's one more angel in heaven
There's one more star in the sky
Joseph, we'll never forget you
It's tough but we're gonna get by
There's one less place at our table
There's one more tear in my eye
But Joseph, the things that you stood for
Like truth and light never die
When I think of his last great battle
A lump comes to my throat
It takes a man who knows no fear
To wrestle with a goat
His blood-stained coat is tribute to
His final sacrifice
His body may be past its peak
But his soul's in paradise
So long little Joe!
Adios, buckaroo!
104, good buddy!
There's one less place at our table
There's one more tear in my eye
But Joseph, the things that you stood for
Like truth and light never die
Carve his name with pride and courage
(Let no tear be shed)
If he had not laid down his life
We all would now be dead
