I saw an angel night before last
They come from Kentucky, who'd have thought that?
She had a smile, it was so genuinely kind
Sorta make you feel like you're sipping on some fine red wine
She rendered me speechless, well she rendered me still
She had me feeling like the fool on the hill
She said she's taken but I don't believe
That she could be meant for anybody but me
Angels come from Kentucky, I guess
Sweet sweet girl you made my head a mess
You got me locked out here, dancing in the rain
Drunk with the thought of your smiling face
I know you are an angel and it can not be
But what if it was you and what if it was me
And what if 600 years ago, you were juliet and I was
Well you know how that story goes
So what if its a puzzle and you're the only piece the only jig to make my saw complete
What if I go stumbling for the rest of my days because I am a cripple and you were my cane, oh, no
Angels come from Kentucky, I guess
Sweet sweet girl you made my head a mess
You got me locked out here, dancing in the rain
Drunk with the thought of your smiling face
I know you are an angel and it can not be
But what if it was you and what if it was me
And what if 600 years ago, you were juliet and I was
Well you know how that story goes
