Debra Davis Stella lyrics

This old street don’t feel the same
Though the houses and the trees still stand
The flowers folded, the colors all changed
When Stella let go of my hand
When the sky looked a little bluer
And I saw heaven smile
Still I cry because I knew her just a little while
Stella, you were an angel in my life
The light’s still on in the corner room
And I swear sometimes I see her there
She calls me in to put down a few
And we talk until the moon would bend
When the sky looked a little bluer
And I saw heaven smile
Still I cry because I knew her just a little while

Stella, you were an angel in my life
Young woman, old girl
Fifty years means nothin’ in this world
For the balance of things gotta have the nest and the wings…
She said I was a really old soul
But somehow I revived her youth
Now I hear her laugh everywhere I go
Though her body hushed at 82
When the sky looked a little bluer
And I saw heaven smile
Still I cry because I knew her just a little while
Stella, you were an angel in my life
