I heard he sang a lullaby
 I heard he sang it from his heart
 When I found out thought I would die
 Because that lullaby was mine
 I heard he sealed it with a kiss
 He gently kissed her cherry lips
 I found that so hard to believe
 Because his kiss belonged to me

 How could an angel break my heart
 Why didn't he catch my falling star
 I wish I didn't wish so hard
 Maybe I wished our love apart
 How could an angel break my heart

 I heard here face was white as rain
 Soft as a rose that blooms in may
 He keeps her picture in a frame
 And when he sleeps he calls her name
 I wonder if she makes him smile
 The way he used to smile at me
 I hope she doesn't make him laugh
 Because his laugh belongs to me

 How could an angel break my heart
 Why didn't he catch my falling star
 I wish I didn't wish so hard
 Maybe I wish our love apart
 How could an angel break my heart

 Oh my soul is dying, it's crying
 I'm trying to understand
 Please help me

 How could an angel break my heart
 Why didn't he catch my falling star
 I wish I didn't wish so hard
 Maybe I wished our love apart
 How could an angel break my heart
