Marc Cohn - If I Were an Angel lyrics

rate me

I finally see your face <br />In my rear-view mirror <br />With each mile I put between us <br />The road keeps gettin’ clearer <br />I only wish that I could make a quiet getaway <br /> <br />Well you probably think I’m foolin’ myself <br />That I just want to have my fun <br />But leavin’ you believe me <br />Is the first good deed I’ve done <br />I’m only tryin’ to save us from more heartache if I stay <br /> <br />Cause baby if I, if I, if I were an angel <br />If I, if I, if I were an angel <br />I would have earned my wings today <br /> <br />I didn’t get a message <br />From anyone on high <br />And I dont get instructions <br />On who to save and why <br />No heavenly connections sent me down this way <br /> <br />But baby if I, if I, if I were an angel <br />If I, if I, if I were an angel <br />I would have earned my wings today <br /> <br />So look up in the sky tonight <br />Thats where I may be <br />High over the hillsides <br />Far across the sea <br />And if you hear the churchbells ring <br />Everything’s okay <br /> <br />Cause baby if I, if I, if I were an angel <br />I would have earned my wings today<br /><br />
