It
was while Donna was on maternity leave that she put her recording online, but no
one could have predicted what happened next.
"I
had recorded the song some time before. Mummy duties took over for a while and
I wanted to give my music a push. So I gave it a very gentle nudge on social
media and, you know, here we are."
So
far, the song has had 66 million views on Facebook and more than two million on
Youtube.
I didn't know today
would be our last
Or that I'd have to
say goodbye to you so fast
I'm so numb, I can't
feel anymore
Prayin' you'd just
walk back through that door
And tell me that I
was only dreamin'
You're not really
gone as long as I believe
There will be another
angel
Around the throne
tonight
Your love lives on
inside of me
And I will hold on
tight
It's not my place to
question
Only God knows why
I'm just jealous of
the angels
Around the throne
tonight
You always made my
troubles feel so small
And you were always
there to catch me when I'd fall
In a world where
heroes come and go
Well God just took
the only one I know
So I'll hold you as
close as I can
Longing for the day,
when I see your face again
But until then
God must need another
angel
Around the throne
tonight
Your love lives on
inside of me
And I will hold on
tight
It's not my place to
question
Only God knows why
I'm just jealous of the
angels
Around the throne
tonight
Singin' hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I'm just jealous of
the angels
Around the throne
tonight
