The Truth About Cats & Dogs movie - Angel Mine lyrics

Song by Cowboy Junkies<br /><br>

He searched for those wings that he knew<br>

that this angel should have at her back<br>

And although he can't find them<br>

he really don't mind<br>

because he knows they'll grow back<br>

And he reached for that halo that he knows<br>

that she had when she first caught his eye<br>

Although his hand came back empty<br>

he's really not worried<br>

'cause he knows it still shines<br>

<br>

I can't promise that I'll grow those wings<br>

or keep this tarnished halo shined<br>

but I'll never betray your trust<br>

angel mine<br>

<br>

I search all the time on the ground<br>

for our shadows cast side by side<br>

Just to remind me that I haven't gone crazy<br>

that you exist and are mine<br>

And I know that your skin is as warm and as real<br>

as that smile in your eyes<br>

But I have to keep touching and smelling<br>

and tasting for fear it's all lies<br>

<br>

I can't promise that I'll grow those wings<br>

or keep this tarnished halo shined<br>

but I'll never betray your trust<br>

angel mine<br>

<br>

Last night I awoke from the deepest of sleeps<br>

with your voice in my head<br>

And I could tell by your breathing<br>

that you were still sleeping<br>

I repeated those words that you had said<br>

<br>

I can't promise that I'll grow those wings<br>

or keep this tarnished halo shined<br>

but I'll never betray your trust<br>

angel mine<br>

<br>
