Debra Davis - Stella lyrics

This old street don't feel the same

Though the houses and the trees still stand

The flowers folded, the colors all changed

When Stella let go of my hand

When the sky looked a little bluer

And I saw heaven smile

Still I cry because I knew her just a little while

Stella, you were an angel in my life

The light's still on in the corner room

And I swear sometimes I see her there

She calls me in to put down a few

And we talk until the moon would bend

When the sky looked a little bluer

And I saw heaven smile

Still I cry because I knew her just a little while

Stella, you were an angel in my life

Young woman, old girl

Fifty years means nothin' in this world

For the balance of things gotta have the nest and the wings…

She said I was a really old soul

But somehow I revived her youth

Now I hear her laugh everywhere I go

Though her body hushed at 82

When the sky looked a little bluer

And I saw heaven smile

Still I cry because I knew her just a little while

Stella, you were an angel in my life
