VERSE 1:


D Fmaj7 Cm7
SHE FLOATS INTO THE NITE TO HIS BEDSIDE...........
D Fmaj7 Cm7
TUCKS HIM IN AND SAYS " I LOVE YOU"....
D Fmaj7 Cm7
HER WARM LOVE STOPS THE COLD FROM OUTSIDE
D Fmaj7 Cm7
SHE HUGS HIM AND GIVES HIM KISSES TOO.....
D Fmaj7 Cm7
SHE LEAVES JUST AS HE SIGHED............


CHORUS 1:


G Fmaj7
AND HIS ANGEL , DOESN'T HAVE A WING...
G Fmaj7
AND HIS ANGEL ISN'T FROM ABOVE...
G Fmaj7
BUT HIS ANGEL SURE KNOWS HOW TO SING....

A SWEET LULLABYE FOR HIM
G Fmaj7
A SWEET LULLABYE TO HIM
G Fmaj7
OHH, JUST SINGING A SONG FOR HIM



VERSE 2:


D Fmaj7 Cm7
SHE LISTENS TO HER LATE INTO THE NITE....

ABOUT BOYS, PEOPLE AND LIFE....

FEELS HER PAIN,... TELLS HER IT'LL BE ALLRIGHT....

D Fmaj7 Cm7
BUT IN HER EYES , SHE STILL SEE'S THE FRIGHT....

D Fmaj7 Cm7
SO SHE GIVES A HUG, TO HER DAUGHTER'S DELIGHT...

I'VE ALLOWED MY HEART FOR ONLY HER TO SEE.....

D Fmaj7 Cm7
THEN SHE SHOWS A LOVE THAT's JUST FOR ME.....

G Fmaj7
AND MY ANGEL, I MARVEL AT EVERY DAY.......

G Fmaj7
TO LOOK OUT FOR HER ONLY AS SHE CAN.......

G Fmaj7
TO BE THERE AS SHE ALWAYS HAS BEEN..........

G Fmaj7
TO BE THERE AS SHE ALWAYS HAS BEEN.....






Beautiful, heartfelt song. Gives me some Marc Cohn vibes in the verses. Timeless kind of feel.

Such a nice story of a mother? and wife?...Nice... I can feel the mans love for the woman who gives her love to the ones she loves. Nice job, clear vocal, pleasant guitar. Glad she is not taken for granted....Good luck with this....had to wipe a tear away.

Really good and soulful piece. Works very well acoustically.

Excellent as this was 1 singer / 1 guitar. I've seen all kind of sync licensing potential looking for organic acoustic songs. This should be a show in.

A sweet, sweet, song with a great tale embedded in it. Great guitar work. Did you record this as you sang and played? I liked the beginning, as you added a second guitar. I loved the pictures you painted with the lyrics, although they seemed to wander a bit....writing a good angel song, is tough, but you did a great job and are on to something.

I really enjoyed listening to this song. The guitar sounds great. The vocals are very good. Your dynamics are very good also. Nice tune!!!

You are a true poet this song reminded me of Bob Dylan.
the instrumentation as well as the vocals were perfectly executed and recorded.
Thank you for the listen
great work!

Enjoyed the vocal delivery, lyrics & guitar balance.

A nice, mellow narrative folk song with traditional tempo and beat a la Dillon. The singing voice is easy and velvety smooth, and the lyrics are sweet and full of love. Only the content of the lyrics seem completely original. I know it is hard to be innovative when you are dealing with a traditional genre like folk, and I think that many people prefer to listen to this kind of song. It is pleasant and you know what you're getting.

Such warm vocals - you got me right away. Very clear and excellent recording. I caught every word! Love your singer-songwriter style - what a beautiful song. "Her love lets me be" that line is great. Love when you talk too.

great voice, like guitar tone, good song
