This song is called "My Christmas Angel" (MP3 - 3.4MB)

Here's some info about the song:

Please read: "The Little Match Girl" by Hans Christian Andersen. After you read it you'll understand why I wrote this song. Preview: The days and the nights were very cold in the busy city. The characters are a young girl and the people she meets on New Year's Eve. Her miserable chore was to try to earn money by selling matches. The sights, sounds and smells made her lonely. Unable to return home until she sold her matches and earned some money, she huddles on a street corner trying to get warm. As she tries to keep warm, she dreams of beautiful things, like warmth, food, home, and happiness. She lights her matches to try to hold on to the dreams. Her final vision is of her grandmother there to take her away. She was found the next day frozen to death on the street. By the way, did you ever notice that right after the Christmas holiday everybody throws their Christmas tree out on the street? Something that was once the center of attention is now lying in the gutter. Trumpet - Cheyne Miller. I hope you enjoyed the song. Merry Christmas!

Lyrics: A little girl sold matches to keep warm. She gave the pennies that she earned to a man that never learned. Till this little girl flew like an angel in the sky. With no shoes on her feet she would live out on the street. She made his holiday complete. It was sad to see her, living cold out on the street. (Chorus: Till it's Christmas time in the city and those trees are bright with lights - Everyday will feel like Christmas, 'cause an angel, she's in my heart tonight.) My little girl picked out her Christmas tree. She said, "Dad, can't wait to see all those lights up on the tree". Oh Christmas tree, someone's working really hard. They are trying to get by. They need an angel in the sky - to make their holiday complete - cause soon they'll see you lying cold out on the street. Oh Christmas tree, you were once the king. You had a star for a crown, lots of tinsel all around. Oh Christmas tree, It's a brand new year. Your lights are all unplugged and your star must come down. You made my holidays complete. Now it's sad to see you lying cold out on the street. (Chorus) Words and music by Frank Grasso.
