Sweet Angel

Where are you, sweet angel?
Are you right before me
and I'm just too blind to see?

Who are you, sweet angel?
Are yours the eyes
that are staring back at me?

I meet you on a cloud
and we fly into the night.
But in the morning
you're nowhere in sight.

I need you, sweet angel.
Don't leave me 
to face this world alone.
Believe me, sweet angel
there's no place
that I can call my home.

Take me with you
and give me freedom.
Bring my wings to life
and let me fly!
I want to believe
the words you whisper softly
when you talk to me at night.

Release me, sweet angel
from this nightmare
from which I can't awake.
Believe me, sweet angel
I need to feel 
some sunshine on my face.

I know you, sweet angel.
You're the only one
who never lets me down.
I feel you sweet angel.
Your gentle touch
lifts me off the ground.

Take me with you
and give me freedom.
Bring my wings to life
and let me fly.

Help me believe
that fear is an illusion,
and please always stay
by my side.
