The Hand of An Angel

I could look for my remaining days on this earth
and never find a woman like you
There is no one out there  
who really could care
and love me
quite as much as you do
I've been some places  I won't mention out loud
and I've done some things that don't make me proud
but I swear
I'll never be going back there

A little humility  
won't be that bad for me
considering just where I have been
If someone says how, 
I 've lost my pride now
We'll they must not have known me back then
I've made some mistakes 
and I've had some heart breaks
but I don't think that there's anything wrong
with taking the hand of an Angel 
when an Angel just happens along

I'm telling you
that I want you know
You're the best friend
 that I've ever known
and I feel no shame 
for the fact that I came
 we were both through with being alone
I can't remember laughing and smiling so much
and I want your kisses and I need your touch
here I am
just so glad that you give a damn

It's not such a bad thing 
to swallow my pride
I know that you know that it's true
and now I can see 
that you've needed me
just as much as I've needed you
Things are going to change 
but the way it remains
all I have is my love and a song
about taking the hand of an Angel
when an Angel just happens along.
