So, Dear Jesus, please send an angel
And not just any angel will do.
Send your biggest, strongest angel
To get this message through.

I have to tell my best friend
That I loved him as more than that.
I wanted to tell him how I really felt,
I just couldn't find the chance.

Dear Jesus, let him know I'm happy for him
Since he has found a new best friend.
But I think he loves her as more than that;
He says they'll be together till the end.

Tell him I'll be at his wedding,
Though no one will see me there.
Tell him I'll be by his side
When and if he gets scared.

Dear Jesus, tell my sweet best friend
That when things go wrong at home,
Not to run like he used to do,
But to work things out until the day is old.

Tell him I'll hold his hand while he holds hers
When they are having their first child.
I want him to know I'll do anything for him;
All he has to do is smile.

Dear Jesus, he needs our help now.
I know we can do it together.
We've go to show him our love for him
And tell him it will be there forever.

But, Dear Jesus, mainly what I want you to tell him
Is to speak his mind before it's too late.
He may pass up the chance with his new best friend,
Thinking he will have another day.

Please send your angels to say these things for me,
I know he will understand-even though it's late.
Tell him I don't know where I'd be
If I hadn't found him... Thank you fate.
