Lyrics

Prettiest Angel
by John Comerford

(Verse)
Way back when I was just a boy in Sunday school they told me all of the things I should know
They taught me Jesus came and died for all of our sins because he loved us and he cared for us so
But the thing that I remembered more than anything else was when they talked about the angels above
That they come down to guide us and to show us the way and when we need it give a gentle shove

(Chorus)
And you are the prettiest angel that I’ve ever seen
Sent down from the skies above, you’re my boogie-woogie heavenly queen
You are the angel of all angels, you’re the angel most divine
If an angel could belong to someone I’d sure make you mine

(Verse)
Well I grew up and went out and fought my own fights like I guess everyone has to do
And I walked on the border between chaos and order and I slipped down a time, maybe two
But I never forgot what they said about angels and I know that what they said was all true
‘Cause I’ve seen ‘em myself in the strangest of places and I’ve even been in love with a few

(Chorus)
And you are the prettiest angel that I’ve ever seen
Sent down from the skies above, you’re my boogie-woogie heavenly queen
You are the angel of all angels, the angel most divine
If an angel could belong to someone I’d sure make you mine


(Extended Chorus)
You’re the sunlight on the ocean, you’re the stars up in the sky
You’re the green that covers all the hills when the rainstorm passes by
You’re the blue that I see in the river, you’re the red that’s in the evening’s glow
You’re the blush that’s on the roses, you’re the tinkle of the old banjo

You’re the sound of a purring engine that’s tuned up just so right
Like a big ol’ Harley Davidson runnin’ down a stretch of highway at night
You are the lifeboat they send out to a drownin’ man, and that drownin’ man was me
You’re the brandy in my coffee you’re the caramel in my herb tea

You are, you are, you are, you are, you are the one that keeps me safe from a fall
All the angels made so perfectly, but it was you that turned out best of ‘em all
You’re my hope for a bright tomorrow, you’re my comfort each and every day
You’re the scarlet leaves in the autumn, you’re the purple on the mountains in May

(Verse)
Now it seems like a couple of lifetimes since those days back in Sunday school
Some roads I’ve been down ain’t the kind that I’d tell all those teachers ‘cause they’d call me a fool
But they say that life is for learnin’ and here’s the sum of everything that I’ve found
The best thing to do is to find you an angel and to make sure that she’s always around

(Chorus)
And you are the prettiest angel that I’ve ever seen
Sent down from the skies above, you’re my boogie-woogie heavenly queen
You’re the angel of all angels, the angel most divine
If an angel could belong to someone I’d sure make you mine
