Song For An Angel
Inspired by Eric Clapton’s “Wonderful Tonight”
Song for an Angel
So beautiful is my sweet girl
that she can’t even see.
She asks me if she looks okay.
She sure looks good to me!
She thinks her hair is mousy brown.
She wishes that her eyes
were a nicer shade of green
and she – a smaller size.
Chorus:
It’s not about the physical. Even if it was,
she looks phenomenal. She’s my girl because
her love is like no other’s; her grace I can’t resist.
Thank you, God, for showing me that angels do exist.
We go out to a restaurant
and I see men’s heads turn.
She’s the type for whom most guys
who seek a wife would yearn.
How glad I am to have her
right there by my side.
She smiles at me, and I can’t hide
the pride I feel inside.
Chorus:
It’s not about the physical. Even if it was,
she looks phenomenal. She’s my girl because
her love is like no other’s; her grace I can’t resist.
Thank you, God, for showing me that angels do exist.
We get home from our night out
and in her quiet way,
she leaves the room and comes back out
in a negligee.
To sparkling eyes and hair down loose
and loving arms I’m drawn.
I’m gazing at an angel as
I put slow music on.
Bridge:
Playing, I keep playing sweet and soulful music.
Swaying, we are swaying with the lights dimmed low.
Romancing, sweet romancing – always leads to more.
Dancing with my angel – love's made better slow.
Chorus:
It’s not about the physical. Even if it was,
she looks phenomenal. She’s my girl because
her love is like no other’s; her grace I can’t resist.
Thank you, God, for showing me that angels do exist.
