Lyrics
NOT AN ANGEL If I were an angel I’d wrap my wings around you You say you’d burn them to ashes But I say, I say, I’d do it anyway I say, I’d do it anyway But I am not an angel No wings to fly away But I can wrap you in my blanket Keep you warm & safe Oh, I am not an angel I cannot lift you from your pain But I can kiss you softly in the darkness & watch you drift away I say, I say, I’d do it anyway I say, I’d do it anyway If I were an angel I’d shine so brightly on you You say my light would be wasted But I say, I say, I’d do it anyway I say, I’d do it anyway But I am not an angel I cannot give you holy sight But I can whisper one word sentences Deep inside the night Oh, I am not an angel I cannot keep you safe from harm But I can cry for you at daybreak Blinded by the rising sun I say, I say, I’d do it anyway I say, I’d do it anyway Oh, I am not an angel I cannot heal you down inside But I can crumble tears down upon your chest To keep your heart alive Oh, I am not an Angel I cannot give you what you need But I can hold you tightly to me You can listen to me breathe I say, I say, I’d do it anyway I say, I’d do it anyway I say, I say, I’d do it anyway I say, I’d do it anyway
