Angel - Lyrics

December 1998

ANGEL

By: Derrick N. Ashong

You know I can’t recall the day

Your dream became my life

I’ve lived an eternity

With you by my side.

Like the sun and the moon I’ve seen

That your light reflects mine

And riding together we

Have conquered the skies.

But for so long

I failed to see the truth

As I searched for a fantasy

That lived within you…

How did you know

That you’d be my angel

When your wings

Were trapped in my heart?

Where did you see

That we would be wonderful?

And our dreams

Would live where we are.

The first time I say your face

My life forever changed

For in you live God & man

As one & the same.

I never knew how much I needed you

Until alone I crossed the sands

And found life without your love

I could not withstand.

Yet you opened

Your heart to let me fly

And as I rose on the wings of love

I felt you inside…

How did you know

That you’d be my angel

When your wings

Were trapped in my heart?

Where did you see

That we would be wonderful?

And our dreams

Would live where we are.

The sweetest moment

Of life I ever knew

Was when I opened my eyes and saw

That you were my truth

How did you know

That you’d be my angel

When your wings

Were trapped in my heart?

Where did you see

That we would be wonderful?

And our dreams

Would live where we are.
