It's really been a long time   Since I let somebody hold me   Since I felt safe in   Somebody's arms      You were a good friend I could confide in   But after all the lies he told me   I couldn't let nobody in my heart   I was torn apart      All this time you've been right here   He's been doing nothing but wrong   And though the best thing in my life was   Here with me all along      I never knew   Right beside me there was an angel   I never knew   You'd give my heart the wings to fly      Because of you   Everything in my life is changing   Turning it to   The kind of Heaven that I never knew      He kissed away my tears   And now they've disappeared   You made me feel safe in somebody's arms   You're the kind that can do me no harm      These questions everybody asks me   They say they've never seen me so happy   But that's a secret between you and me   They don't know nothing about us baby      Can't let up, can't tell anybody that   You're not from around here   They don't know that you're an angel   But now it's all so clear      I never knew   Right beside me there was an angel   I never knew   You'd give my heart the wings to fly      Because of you   Everything in my life is changing   Turning it to   The kind of Heaven that I never knew      Is this a dream?   Are you for real?   You got me honey   Feeling things that I never thought I'd feel      You taught me love   Don't have to break my heart in two   That's just one more of those things   That I never, never knew      I never knew   Right beside me there was an angel   I never knew   You'd give my heart the wings to fly      Because of you   Everything in my life is changing   Turning it to   The kind of Heaven that I never knew   The kind of Heaven that I never knew      Never, never knew I never never knew
