I get up every morning, drink coffee alone

My house it too quiet; I'm the only one home

I let the newspapers pile up at the door

I can't be bothered; I don't read 'em no more

The flowers are blooming, the ones you planted last spring

I can't make much sense out of anything

Chorus:

If I could kidnap an angel

I'd clip off his wings

And bring them to you

That would fix everything

I get in the car like I do every day

Wondering how in the world did it turn out this way?

It's just 'round the corner, turn left and I'm there

I'd do anything to be anywhere but here

Chorus:

If I could kidnap an angel

I'd clip off his wings

And bring them to you

That would fix everything

If I could kidnap an angel

He could teach us to fly

We'd live forever, forever

We'd never die

If I could kidnap an angel

Now the parking attendant knows my first name

These long green hallways all look the same

There's four elevators, one goes to that floor

I brace myself when I get to the door

I close my eyes and take a deep breath

Then sit down beside your hospital bed

Chorus:

If I could kidnap an angel

I'd clip off his wings

I'd bring them to you

That would fix everything

If I could kidnap an angel

He could teach us to fly

We'd live forever, forever

We'd never die

If I could kidnap an angel

If I could kidnap an angel

He'd say the word

He'd tear down these walls

People laughing like children through these hospital halls

There'd be no more tears

There'd be no more blood

There'd be nothing but smiles

Nothing but love

If I could kidnap an angel
