God Sent Me An Angel

about

Love songs...all these years on I am still a romantic, but in the times of this song I may have counted too much on others and not enough on myself.

lyrics

God Sent Me An Angel
©Tim Harrison and Second Avenue Songs 1996

God sent me an angel
She came down from above
When I really wasn’t looking
I had no use for love
And I could not paint a picture
Of what it was like to receive
I'd just been hanging on
To patterns I believed

But then the world was made over
To something I had never seen
And the stars in the heavens
They came shining down on me
Everything looked different
There was no one that I knew
This world will never be the same
Since I met you

You see I thought I knew myself quite well
And I was really satisfied
Because I finally found a path to tread
Which was no longer lies
But then out of a mystery
When I did not seek to find
God sent me an angel
The healing kind


Bridge:
With new love old sorrow is uncovered
Pain you thought you’d left behind
But if it goes on undiscovered
It can rob your soul and steal your mind
But God sent me an angel
