When I'm upside down, you turn me right side up By the simple words you say When I'm south of you, well your north of me And I know your here to stay Well your fingers walk and your body talks to me Sweetly night and day My life was meaningless, until we kissed May you never go away Angel, I figured it out you've got to be an Angel, you must have come down to earth to tell me There will be no tears in heaven Love's a gift that we've been given Baby when I see you shine I thank the lord that you are mine Heavens here on earth together May it always last forever Angel sometimes I Swear that you have wings and you can fly When I'm on my own, well your in my head And in everything I do Well your protecting me, watching over me I can always count on you Angel, I figured it out you've got to be an Angel, you must have come down to earth to tell me Fly, fly over me Fly, fly under me Fly, fly close to me Fly, fly, fly to me Angel, I figured it out you've got to be an Angel, you must have come down to earth to tell me ...angel sometimes I swear that you have wings and you can fly
