The Angel In My Head

The Angel In My Head By Roy Merritt I was in the clutches of misery, misery had me down I was feeling beside myself when I heard a glorious sound Somewhere in the distance I heard an angel croon I heard an angel singin’ to me singin’ a familiar tune And as I moved closer to it seeking out where it be Wondering if that angel’s voice was singin’ it just for me Was it really an angel or some siren from the foamy sea Some siren like the ones that lured the crew of Ulysses And as I kept going I never saw from where it came But it continued to appeal to me and set my soul aflame Was it a voice from Motown which my youth recalls so great Was it that Memphis sound or Nashville in a bordering state It made me want to dance to be shaggin’ down on the shore It made want to talk to friends it made want much more It made want to see family want to embrace my girl It made want to show love to embrace the whole wide world And as I kept going through that darkness there alone I came to realize where it be the source of that sweet song Yes I finally discovered as I followed in its stead The only angel singin’ to me was the angel in my head And you know everybody needs an angel in their head Yes sir everybody needs an angel singin’ in their head
