Angel of Mine...

Today I still remember it so well...
Though I don't remember the date...
Though I don't remember the time...
Don't even remember the season...
Just remember you, so beautiful
And your smile, so wonderful
So true and so sincere
That was the first time that I saw you
And one look was enough...
Enough to bring down
All the defenses around my heart
In one single moment you conquered me...

You took me by surprise
It was all so sudden
But also so wonderful...
Before I met you my life was a different life
After I met you it was never the same again...
When I first saw your angelic face
And your beautiful smile shinning with joy
In that instant I fell
I fell down on my knees
At the feet of an Angel...
It was a magical moment then
One that I will never forget
And then you became Princess of my heart
And I became yours...

So time passed on
And you changed some
And so did I change some
But what I feel remains...
Ever stronger...
Many have come and gone
But you still remain
For you still are this wonderful Princess
This beautiful Angel of light
That you have always been to me...
Shinning your light of beauty upon me
With your amazing smile...
You break through the barriers of my heart
And you reach into my soul...
But you don't even know it...

The rain falls heavy on the city
The waves come crashing down on castles of sand
Earthquakes make land and hearts shake...
Winds blow carrying dear ones away...
The sun rises shinning its light for all to see
Time passes on without ever stopping
The new becomes old
And the old becomes new again...
New lifes begin
And old flames go out...
But it seems to me
That my love for you never goes away
It never fades... never dies...
And it keeps dragging me on
Dragging me on through the seasons...

I look upon your amazing beauty
And I see this wonderful smile you have...
That brings warmth and joy to my heart
And then I think to myself
That I don't deserve one such as you...
And my heart bleeds away...
For I don't dare confess to you
These feelings I have inside of me
Because I know that I don't deserve
To have an Angel such as you
Love a man such as me...
And my heart bleeds away as the rain falls...
As I see you walk past me
And I let you go...
Without letting you know...
Without letting you know me...

Every single time I see you
It brings a smile to my heart
But every time I see you
Brings an aching agony to my heart...
Feels like a sword has gone through
The blood flows... Taking life away...
And my heart bleeds away as the winds blow...

You are an angel of beauty and light
I don't dare reach out
And touch you in all your beauty
With these sinful hands of mine...
This pain I have to bear
Have to let you open your wings
And fly high, to places of beauty
Where I can't follow...
Where I can't reach...
Even though I'm breaking up up inside
Even though my heart is bleeding away
I have to let you go on...
Don't deserve an Angel such as you...

You were made for something more
For some higher purpose
And I'm down here now
Just want to see you soar...

Fly high now
Fly high to the heavens
And shine your light upon us
Angel of light...
Angel of Beauty...
Angel of Joy...
Angel of mine...
