John Foster Lyrics – Tell That Angel I Love Her

John Roberts performed an original song for Maggie Dunn, a friend of his who passed away. Sheesh. He might have strummed his way to the top 5 with this one. Check out a more detailed recap of the Easter episode here. Here’s the wonderful and wonderfully traditional-sounding song… then scroll down for the lyrics.


No words can describe how I truly feel.
But I hope these will try.
It’s a feeling that I can’t explain.
Deep and endless, like the sky.

And though we may not know the reason, it’s not for us to understand.
Lord, won’t you tell that angel I love her as soon as you can.

Because sure the sun will come up but it won’t shine on her skin.
And I’d give anything I have to talk to her again.

Sure, the sun will come up but it won’t shine on her skin.
And I’d give anything I have to talk to her again.

Each tear that falls on my guitar is a hug from afar.
Tell that angel I love her.

I love you Maggie.
