I Held My Angel (Lil Dude's Song)

I Held My Angel (Lil Dude’s Song)

Hook (soulful, anthem feel):
I held my angel in my arms,
Only for a little while, but forever in my heart.
The world can’t measure love this deep,
Lil Dude, your soul I’ll always keep.
I held my angel in my arms…

Verse 1 (your voice):
Born on a blessing, gone too soon,
But your light still shines like the brightest moon.
All these years later, I still replay,
Every smile, every laugh, every little day.

I blamed myself, but now I see,
Sid's  took you, son — it wasn’t me.
Still I carry the weight, still I feel that pain,
But I’d hold you again if I had one chance.

Hook (repeat):
I held my angel in my arms,
Only for a little while, but forever in my heart.
The world can’t measure love this deep,
Lil Dude, your soul I’ll always keep.

Verse 2 (Riley & siblings):
Your sister Riley never left your side,
Even when she was young, she stayed and cried.
Big sis love in a little girl frame,
Held you close, whisperin’ your name.

Your brothers, your sisters, they still feel you too,
A piece of their hearts went to heaven with you.
Family forever, the bond don’t break,
Even in silence, we lift your name.

Hook (stronger, layered):
I held my angel in my arms,
Only for a little while, but forever in my heart.
The world can’t measure love this deep,
Lil Dude, your soul I’ll always keep.

Verse 3 (father to son, closing):
Daddy loves you, and I always will,
Every song I write, you’re the echo I feel.
You were here for a moment, but your spirit lives on,
In the beat of my chest, in the words of this song.

So I’ll see you again when the time is right,
Till then, Lil Dude, you’re my guiding light.
And when I close my eyes, I still can see,
The angel I held still holding me.

Outro (soft, fading):
I held my angel in my arms…
Still hold my angel in my heart.
Forever Lil Dude.
