Only Angel
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A man's supposed to be a mountain
With the rivers runnin' to the sea
But ever since I lost my baby
I'm not sure that's how it's supposed to be
No need to try and hide this empty feelin'
It's hard to smile when I'm so sad
God's got so many angels up in heaven
Why'd he take the only angel
The only angel I've ever had
I ever had
Now I know you don't hear me darlin'
Still I want to take this time to say
How much I truly loved you
And how sorry I am, sorry I am you went away
No need to try and hide it
Yeah I'm broken hearted and sad
'Cause God's got so many angels up in heaven
Why'd he take the only angel
The only angel I've ever had
I ever had
I just can't hide this empty feelin'
When everybody knows that I'm sad
God's got so many angels up in heaven
Why'd he take the only angel
The only angel I've ever had
I ever had
(He took the only angel) I ever had
(The only angel) I've ever had
(He took the only angel) I ever had
