Guardian Angels

A hundred year old photograph
 Stares out from a frame
 And if you look real close you'll see
 Our eyes are just the same
 I never met them face to face
 But I still know them well
 From the stories
 My dear grandma would tell
 Elijah was a farmer
 He knew how to make things grow
 Fannie vowed she'd follow him
 Wherever he would go
 As things turned out they never left
 Their small Kentucky farm
 But he kept her fed
 She kept him warm
 They're my guardian angels
 And I know they can see
 Every step I take
 They are watching over me
 I might not know where I'm goin'
 But I'm sure where I come from
 They're my guardian angels
 And I'm their special one

 Sometimes when I'm tired
 I feel Elijah take my arm
 He says, "Keep a-goin', hard work"
 "Never did a body harm"
 And when I'm really troubled
 And I don't know what to do
 Fannie whispers, "Just do your best, we're awful proud of you!"
 They're my guardian angels
 And I know they can see
 Every step I take
 They are watching over me
 I might not know where I'm goin'
 But I'm sure where I come from
 They're my guardian angels
 And I'm their special one
