The future is closer now
As the past grows faint
I was full of the devil
Now I’m nearly a saint
Even saints have their lonely times
When life’s a rough ride
We all need an angel
To stand by our side
This saint’s tired of waiting
As his past grows dim
He’s in need of his angel
To stand close by him
We’re separated by distance
As well as by time
It just doesn’t seem right
When you could be mine
So listen sweet angel
I’m on bended knee
And asking sincerely
To come be with me
It would be such an honor
If you were close by
To share in our laughter
And to help when I cry
This saint needs his angel
To come stand by him
To make his heart lighter
When it’s heavy and grim
So fly to me angel
And share life with me
When we walk together
What more could there be?
