I had a friend many years ago
  One tragic night he died
  The saddest time of my life
  For weeks and weeks I cried
  Through the anger and through the tears
  I've felt his spirit through the years
  I'd swear, He's watching me
  Guiding me through hard times
  
  (chorus)
  I feel it once again
  It's overwhelming me
  His spirit's like the wind
  The angel guarding me
  Oh, I know, oh, I know
  He's watching over me
  Oh, I know, oh, I know
  He's watching over me
  
  We shared dreams like all best friends
  Blood brothers at the age of ten
  We lived reckless, he paid the price
  But why? Why did he have to die?
  It still hurts me to this day
  Am I selfish for feeling this way?
  I know he's an angel now
  Together we'll be someday
  
  I feel it once again
  It's overwhelming me
  His spirit's like the wind
  The angel guarding me
  Oh, I know, oh, I know
  He's watching over me
  Oh, I know, oh, I know
  He's watching over me
