She lived like she knew nothing lasts
Didn't care to look like anyone else
And she was beautiful, so beautiful
I still hear her laugh like she's here
Shower it down on all the young
It isn't so wrong to have such fun
Forever angel
I hope they love you like we do
Forever angel
I'll be proud to be like you
Be like you
(I'll be proud to be like you)
Does the sun shine up at you when you're looking down
Do you get along with the others around
It's got to be better than before
You don't need to worry now you're gone
Forever angel
I hope they love you like we do
Forever angel
I'll be proud to be like you
Be like you
Just like you
And when I go to sleep at night
I'll thank you for each blessed thing surrounding me
For every fall I'll ever break
Each moment's breath I wanna taste
Confidence and conscience
Decadent extravangance
Never ending providence
For loving when I had the chance
Angel
I hope they love you like we do
Forever angel
I hope they love you like we do
Forever angel
I'll be proud to be like you
Be like you
I'll be proud to be like you
Didn't care to look like anyone else
And she was beautiful, so beautiful
I still hear her laugh like she's here
It isn't so wrong to have such fun
I hope they love you like we do
Forever angel
I'll be proud to be like you
Be like you
(I'll be proud to be like you)
Do you get along with the others around
You don't need to worry now you're gone
I hope they love you like we do
Forever angel
I'll be proud to be like you
Be like you
Just like you
I'll thank you for each blessed thing surrounding me
For every fall I'll ever break
Each moment's breath I wanna taste
Confidence and conscience
Decadent extravangance
Never ending providence
For loving when I had the chance
I hope they love you like we do
Forever angel
I hope they love you like we do
Forever angel
I'll be proud to be like you
Be like you
I'll be proud to be like you

Yes it's based on a real person, on their mother, jean corr who passed away. i think it's a beautiful song. It's a tribute to their mom
I herad this sond for the first time when I went to a Corrs concert in Vienna. Four days later my grandmother, who'd been like a mother to me, died, and it has been "my grandmother's song" for me ever since... It's my favourite Corrs song, because it reminds me of her everytime I hear it. Beautiful.
Lovely song, reminds me of a close friend who died 2 years ago - the lyrics really describe her. Does anyone know if this song is actually based on a real person?
Thanks Nicole. I agree, it's beautiful, and the best song on that album in my opinion
Their Mother died. Just about how Andrea and her siblings loved her and.."I'll be proud to be like you" says lots.
Lovely song.
"Confidence and conscience Decadent extravangance Never ending providence For loving when I had the chance"
Beautifully written. Reminds me of my nan : )
It is an amazingly beautiful song. I cried when I heared the words. Love it!
so sad... the meaning of it has already been mentioned. The corrs wrote this song and `Goodbye' to their mother.
this song is so sad and beautiful. I love the fact that they (The Corrs) are, in this song, like celebrating their mother's life instead being crying because of her death.
It's beautiful how they express the proud they had of her and how they love her.
