I finally see your face
|
In my rear-view mirror
|
With each mile I put between us
|
The road keeps gettin' clearer
|
I only wish that I could make a quiet getaway
|
|
Well you probably think I'm foolin' myself
|
That I just want to have my fun
|
But leavin' you believe me
|
Is the first good deed I've done
|
I'm only tryin' to save us from more heartache if I stay
|
|
Cause baby if I, if I, if I were an angel
|
If I, if I, if I were an angel
|
I would have earned my wings today
|
|
I didn't get a message
|
From anyone on high
|
And I don't get instructions
|
On who to save and why
|
No heavenly connections sent me down this way
|
|
But baby if I, if I, if I were an angel
|
If I, if I, if I were an angel
|
I would have earned my wings today
|
|
So look up in the sky tonight
|
Thats where I may be
|
High over the hillsides
|
Far across the sea
|
And if you hear the churchbells ring
|
Everything's okay
|
|
Cause baby if I, if I, if I were an angel
|
I would have earned my wings today
|
