She had a rusty old halo

And make-believe wings

She lay down beside me

To ease up my pain

She lifted me gently

She helped me styand

I knew an angel

Was holding my hand



The trouble with angels

Is they never stay

The trouble with angels

Is they all fly away



She sang to me softly

Her tender lovesong

And she rocked me gently

All night long

She watched me grow strong

Stronger each day

When I grew restless

She flew away



That's the trouble with angels

They never stay

The trouble with angels

Is they all fly away



She's out searching for someone

Someone in pain

With her rusty old halo

And her make-believe wings



The trouble with angels

They never stay

The trouble with angels

They fly away

The trouble with angels

They fly away
