There would always be those days where I was inspired to write something. And the funny thing was, it was always happens during first lunch. Yes, first lunch. I would always skip lunch and stay in the choir room and play the piano. Well, one day in November, my best friend Terrance came in with some words written down and I was messing with some riff on the piano and I needed some words. Sure enough, by the time the lunch was over, half the song was done too. Thanx Terrance, he always had good words. This was also written during my relationship with Darci, which no doubt inspired this song too, check out the last verse.
There was a girl on the corner
She came from uptown
her hair was Black, skin tone was brown
sweet like chocolate, yet cool like rain
I never had the chance to make her mine
Theres no doubt about that this time
But I cant stop thinkin about you babe
I cant get you out of my mind, all the same
Youve got to be
If I didnt know it, Id cry
Cause if I would, youre an angel and died
But its true, you came straight out of the blue
I thank God, for putting you on earth for me to do
Angel
Youre an angel to me
Angel
Youre an angel to me
You make more of life, I think Im living in a dream
Cant help thinking of how much you mean to me
Youre beautiful like your wings
How much loving can come out of this thing?
Tell me
I wanna fly with you
Tell me angel, can you do all the things that you say you can do
I wanna go to heaven with you
Angel, give me your holy love true
Youre my angel
Youre an angel to me
Angel
Youre angel to me
Ive never been in love with an angel before
But its more than an human can adore
I wanna be with you
Dont fly away
Cause your wings are unfair to me
Raise me with your heavenly love
I know its pure
Because its straight from above
Finally the light is on me
I dont know how long our love is gonna last
But I want our love to last
Cause youre my only
Angel
