When the spirit slips away
There′s nothing you can do
There's nothing you can say
May the angels be watching over you
When your spirit slips away
When the darkness starts to fall
You′re on your own
And your back's against the wall
May the angels bring their flame to you
When the darkness it starts to fall
When your spirit must depart
The soul and the body are torn apart
May your God in his mercy look out on you
When your spirit, it slips away
And when the music that make you blue
Unfolds its secrets, the mysteries are told to you
May the angels sing rejoice to you
That fateful day when your spirit slips away
That fateful day when your spirit slips away
