Angel of Mine

In light that I'm a mortal man
The celestial dreamer, that I am
Once upon a midnight dream
There she was

A transcendent beauty, fair
A radiant smile, golden hair
And penetrating eyes
That see right through me

Angel of Mine
Are you there all the time
Or just a ghost
A specter of my mind

Each night as I lie
Stare into the starlit sky
I wonder who you are
And what you mean to me

Oh, Angel of Mine
How long must I wait to see your face
To feel your breath
To smell your hair

Feel the warmth of your body next to mine
With me all the time
Two to be as one

I lament that I'm a carnal man
Of flesh and blood, that I am
In you I cannot help my desire
Oh, Angel of Mine

In you I find the peace I need
To cherish life, reject the greed
But am I crazy
Are you of heaven, earth or mind

Angel of Mine
Are you there all the time
Or just a ghost
A specter of my mind

Each night as I lie
Stare into the starlit sky
I wonder who you are
And what you mean to me
Oh, Angel of Mine
