Lyrics
she was an angel
a lost fallen angel
she'd never admit it
don't think god would permit it
or maybe it was just my eyes,
but i was mesmerized
and i let my better judgment stray that day
i saw an angel, broken angel, come to stay
she fell outside my window
i couldn't let her go
until the healing
repaired her broken wings and halo
i brought her mangos and flowers
and i sang for hours
to take her breath away, so she'd stay
my angel, broken, lonely angel, always.
she might have been an angel
but she was a troubled, frightened angel
she couldn't always hear me
but she always stayed so near me
and that's why i sometimes cry and sigh
when i think of the soft goodbye
i never got to say
when my angel flew away.
she was an angel
a lost, lonely angel
she never would admit it
but i knew and i didn't forget it.
'til that day in may
she flew away
just why and where she wouldn't say
she was my angel, forever angel, goodbye.
now i'm so alone without her
there was something about her
i'd miss more every day, so i say
goodbye angel, forever angel, goodbye.
