I finally see your face   In my rear-view mirror   With each mile I put between us   The road keeps gettin’ clearer   I only wish that I could make a quiet getaway      Well you probably think I’m foolin’ myself   That I just want to have my fun   But leavin’ you believe me   Is the first good deed I’ve done   I’m only tryin’ to save us from more heartache if I stay      Cause baby if I, if I, if I were an angel   If I, if I, if I were an angel   I would have earned my wings today      I didn’t get a message   From anyone on high   And I dont get instructions   On who to save and why   No heavenly connections sent me down this way      But baby if I, if I, if I were an angel   If I, if I, if I were an angel   I would have earned my wings today      So look up in the sky tonight   Thats where I may be   High over the hillsides   Far across the sea   And if you hear the churchbells ring   Everything’s okay      Cause baby if I, if I, if I were an angel   I would have earned my wings today
