An Angel Named Riley

Original song lyrics by Chrome Dome Mike Kimbro

Consider reading along to my Spoken Verse Performance, or to my pathetic singing attempt.

VERSE 1

This is an epitaph for Riley,

Daughter of the Maxwell clan.

Taken oh so young,

'Twas Our Father’s greater plan.

And as we look down at her body.

A life cut short of it's prime.

Know an angel named Riley

Is doing just fine.

VERSE 2

The Good Lord called her home in summer.

With the full moon aglow.

Wish there were times for nursery rhymes

And rocking to and fro.

As we live on with her memory.

She communes with the divine.

Yeah, an angel named Riley

Is doing just fine.

Let's be glad for time together.

In our heart we will enshrine.

And an angel named Riley

Is doing just fine.
