Introduction
Some songs have a way of touching the soul so deeply that they linger long after the last note fades. One Angel is one of those rare gems—a song that doesn’t just tell a story but makes you feel every word in your heart. It’s a song of remembrance, a tribute to someone who’s no longer here in body but will forever be present in spirit.
The beauty of One Angel lies in its gentle honesty. It’s a song that speaks directly to anyone who has ever lost someone they love. The lyrics paint a picture of absence, but instead of focusing solely on grief, they find comfort in the idea that our loved ones never truly leave us. They become the stars we look up to at night, the whisper of the wind on a quiet evening, the warmth of a memory that brings both a tear and a smile.
What makes this song so powerful is the way it embraces both sorrow and hope. The melody carries a softness that feels like a warm embrace—one that reassures us that love never dies. There’s a bittersweet quality in every note, reflecting the way we navigate grief: some days heavy, some days lighter, but always carrying the love forward.
At its heart, One Angel is a reminder that we’re never alone. That the people we miss are still with us, guiding us, loving us, watching over us. And maybe, just maybe, when we look up at the sky and see that one bright star shining down, it’s them saying, “I’m still here.”

Lyrics
The dominos kept falling in slow motion
Every doctor′s call and diagnostic test
I drove that hundred miles just to see you
The whole while cussing God and the devil in one breath
verse
You knew I’d had my fill of the Bible
But you made it clear you loved me anyway
You never let on you were scared of dying
But you′d reach out for my hand
And I’d listen while you pray
chorus
So here’s three fingers of tequila,
One finger for the cancer
One finger for the poison they sent pouring through your veins
One finger for the preacher
cause I don′t believe the Jesus that you love so much
would put you through such pain
But I do believe one angel knows my name
verse
When you have up on the chemo and went home
We wrote about the horses, kids, and cows
And you said you′d send me seedlings you were starting
And you thanked me for the way I still made you laugh out loud
chorus
So here’s three fingers of tequila,
One finger for the cancer
One finger for the poison they sent pouring through your veins
One finger for the preacher
cause I don′t believe the Jesus that you love so much
would put you through such pain
But I do believe one angel knows my name
verse
Now there’s a roany grazing peaceful where you′re layin’
And a horse-tail woven in between your hands
And I′m pulling on your boots to ’em riding like I promised you I’d do
every time I got a chance.
chorus
So here′s three fingers of tequila,
One finger for the cancer
One finger for the poison they sent pouring through your veins
One finger for the preacher
cause I don′t believe the Jesus that you love so much
would put you through such pain
But I do believe one angel knows my name
