The sunbeam hit the Jim Beam 

And ricocheted off a bottle of Coke 

Cut through the still smoulderin' 

Second-hand night-before smoke 

The whisky's half-empty 

Half in me, my enemy an' my friend 

Well, last night drowned my sorrows 

But today is tomorrow again 



When you fall for an angel like her 

You're walkin' on clouds 

When you're in love, you're so up 

You forget to look down 

The higher an' higher she took me 

The further I fell 

An' it's angels like her 

That send guys like me straight to hell 



There's a ring in her forehead 

On the picture where the bottle sat last night 

It might look like a halo 

But I know it's a trick of the light 

Oooh, that smile on her face 

Has a way to fool any old fool 

Yeah, she came straight from Heaven 

But I know the devil did too 



When you fall for an angel like her 

You're walkin' on clouds 

Yeah, when you're in love, you're so up 

You forget to look down 

An' the higher an' higher she took me 

The further I fell 

An' it's angels like her 

That send guys like me straight to hell 



Yeah, the higher an' higher she took me 

The further I fell 

An' it's angels like her 

That send guys like me straight to hell
