Love’s Eternal Angel is a precious little girl.
I hold her in my Heart as she dances ‘round the world.
She caught a butterfly while swirling flowers in the air,
Put some thread in her pocket and let down her long brown hair.
Flies over the ocean, has tea with Hello Kioy in Japan,
Embroiders a Dragonfly, sews a Kimono all by hand,
Weaves a Heart around the island, dreams of Castles in the Sand,
Grabs a Shooting Star, waves her Magic Wand and lands in Vietnam.
(chorus)
Oh, she’s weaving hearts together, the way the ones before her did…
She’s mending the tear and only beauty lies ahead…
Twirling paper umbrellas, cherry blossoms in her hair,
Takes a fanciful boat ride with her distant cousins there.
Silk painted a pagoda & wrote preoy poetry,
Had a Nem with peanut sauce with her new-found family.
Firefly to India and rides an elephant who’s smart,
Puts a bindi on her forehead and wraps a sari round her heart
Spots an orange Bengal Tiger with black stripes for camouflage
Her spool of thread connecting hearts, creates a magical collage…
(chorus)
A majestic swarm of pink flamingos have carried her to France.
Met Petite Danseuse at the Musée D’Orsay and learned a ballet dance.
Saw the Mona Lisa, saw two girls playing (the) piano in a Renoir painting,
Climbed up the Eiffel Tower and had a crêpe filled with chestnut cream, so tasty!
She dreams of flowers from the Renaissance, a damsel in Italy.
She’s barefoot in the Forum, she paints like BoScelli.
Finds some marble in a quarry, carves an angel in the stone
Holds a seashell to her ear, Venus whispers “Love is why we are never alone”.
(chorus)
One last stop in Mexico before a Monarch flies her home
Her cousins teach her Spanish, folklore, finds a honeycomb
Embroiders a shawl with bright colored threads,
Twirls her ruffled circle skirt so high above her head.
Sunlight beaming, her Angel wings
Weaving Hearts around the world,
Ribbons streaming in her long brown hair
Spins straw to gold, this girl
She created a Beautiful Tapestry, Eternal Angel of Love,
Protecting All children with her love, from a bright blue sky above!
(chorus)
Oh, she’s weaving hearts together, the way the ones before her did…
She’s mending the tear and only beauty lies ahead…
With the colorful threads of our lineage….
This tapestry of life
She does this because we’re all one…
She knows the time has finally come..
To spread her wings and fly
Around the world she’ll fly
Weaving hearts, she’ll fly
Fly butterfly…
Lea, fly butterfly…
