If I was an angel like you say
I would open my wings and I
would fly away through the sky
like a breath caught on a sigh
I would make myself invisible to view
so I can just sit and watch you sleep.
Take into my heart the vision of you
and tuck it away in my soul to keep
I would reach to stroke your cheek
and watch your lips curve into a smile
that leaves me with no words to speak
as I stare silently at you all the while
And as I stared wistfully at you I knew
this angel could find heaven with you
but that heaven would only be through
revealing myself only to your view
Then when you see me face to face
You take me in your arms and hold tight
as the world around us falls into space
and I feel all the warmth of your light.
