There's An Angel In My Heart

There's an angel in my heart. She is beautiful and so loving. I can hear her weeping sometimes. She wants to come out of me And to let everyone see her. But I keep her imprisoned, She is my very private angel. People can see only the worldly tough me . the one who doesn't take wooden nickels. The one who never cries. With a Missouri show me attitude But sometimes When the night is long and quiet. And you are Lay with me beautiful and full of softness. I let her out Just for you to see her. She changes the glow of the gentle light that outlines your body. She frames your hair like a halo. She softens my voice. Almost to a whisper, I say stupid things. That Tough old me would never say. Like you are the most beautiful thing in my life. And I love you so very much honey. She makes me gentle and loving. It must be some kind of Angel trick. But then as the morning yawns sunlight into our bedroom window. I put my angel in prison again And get ready to face the garish world. For just one more day
