My life was flashing before my eyes A second later, I walked and realized My heart had crashed and burned in shame You pulled me from the flames I took your hand and you helped me upon my feet I confessed but you had forgiven me There's courage in the truth you said Our love will never end You shield me from danger, you're my shelter You are my hiding place There's and Angel on my shoulder, here tonight Making sure that I'm alright When I'm falling fast, you rescue me, you love unconditionally And when I'm clod and so alone Back in your arms I feel at home I pray that you will always be, a guardian Angel Sent for me My dream comes between us every now and then I make mistakes, get in trouble, time and again I ain't proud of who I am When I'm down you understand Blinded you can always seem to show the way You're the light You're the reason I'm here today If you cry, I cry, So dry your eyes There's an Angle on my shoulder, here tonight Making sure that I'm alright When I'm falling fast, you rescue me, you love unconditionally And when I'm cold and so alone Back in your arms I feel at home I pray that you will always be, a guardian Angel Sent for me
