Angels On Her Shoulders
She walked right inAs time slowed downBut not enoughTo keep me from ordering upAnother roundIn a bottomless cupThat I had foundIn the hopes of never waking up theJukebox playedAn old country song About steel guitarsAnd how he'll try his level bestTo get alongIn the same old barThough friends gone wrongWell he once had love but I never got that farShe must have angels on her shouldersTheir light wherever she may beShe says the angels do not know herI guess I'm the only one who sees.So I got my drinkAnd my fix my roseSongtexteBut I need much moreThen this powdered blue and rented tuxedoI need a lineA-something she don't know Cause' she's probably heard them all a thousand timesSo I caught her eyeFor the next songAnd the waltz replacedThe tango like she knows that I don't belongIn these shoesI feel all wrongBut that's just my pride, what have I got to lose?Well last call calledBut I didn't hear I was too busy lookingAt her across the remnants of my beerShe stood to leaveAnd then it all came clearThat life without her was all I had to fearYou must have angels on your shouldersTheir light wherever you may beShe asks me would I like to show her?I think I might be just the guy you need.
