Lyrics
Angel Things
Lord, I know that I been drinkin'
This ain't no time to say a prayer
But Lord, you just gotta tell me
Ain't that an angel settin' there?
You don't owe me any favors
But I'm askin' anyway
Do you mind if I walk over
When the band begins to play?
Chorus:
I've never danced with an Angel
You'll have to tell me what to do
But if you'll show me how to hold her
This is what I promise you
I'll keep my hands off her halo
I won't squeeze her wings
You'll have to trust me not to touch
All her other angel things
You prob'ly need her back in heaven
I guess I'll have to let her go
Besides, I would look so foolish
Steppin' on her angel toes
So go ahead, Lord and take her
Y'all can leave me behind
Wait a minute, Lord she's smiling
Forget that last part, never mind
Chorus:
I've never danced with an Angel
You'll have to tell me what to do
But if you'll show me how to hold her
This is what I promise you
I'll keep my hands off her halo
I won't squeeze her wings
You'll have to trust me not to touch
All her other angel things
