What do you see that's so beautiful
It always reflects in your eyes
The world casts no shadows across your sweet face
You're an angel and I'm gonna cry

When I used to see you I'd smile
Just a pretty girl up on a sign
Then I'd thank god for mine now she's leaving
And I need an angel to keep me from crying

You're an angel and I'm gonna cry
'cause I can't have you and I'm not gonna try

But I'm wasting this dream with my troubles
Let me rest in your arms for a while
Say you love me 'cause when I wake up dear
You'll just be an angel and I'm gonna cry
Say you love me 'cause when I wake up dear
You'll just be an angel and I'm gonna cry
