Lauren Bateman introduces and performs her original song "Guardian Angel," an emotional tribute written after an intense visit with a loved one who was dying. She explains she wrote the song in about 10 minutes while crying and warns listeners it may make them teary; the lyrics express love, memory, belief that the loved one watches over her (guardian/angel imagery), and the pain of loss.

It was a song just to let her know that, you know, everything was gonna be alright when she did finally pass on and that we weren't gonna forget her and that, you know, we all loved her. I knew that she would always be watching over me. So I went home one night after having a very emotional visit with her and wrote this song in about 10 minutes, bawling my eyes out. So if you're really sensitive, I would advise getting a napkin at the bar right now, because you should. Usually this one makes people a little teary, so I just put that disclaimer in. This song is called Guardian angel.
Is there for me. I needed you around.
And it's hard.
To see with your head hanging down.
No.
When you go always be around.
I know no matter where where I go I think you will be.
And I know no matter where I go you want you all the need the Holy Ghost the angels most will make you feel well.
And you can be a God, an angel.
It's a shame you're so young yet so much more life to give.
This happening you were dealt cut short these things you should live.
When it's hard.
To see you when you go.
No.
When you go can't bring a memory on and on.
I know no matter where I go I take you with me.
And I know matter where I go you watching oh me the holy ghost.
Make you feel well.
You and me I got in.
So careful you leave me you're done with this fight.
Promise me when my time comes sh me.
I know no matter where I go I take you, I take you feel me.
