Angel on My Shoulder

I've got an angel on my shoulder.

She laid her head to rest there last night.

She fell asleep as she said I love you.

What did I ever do to win the right,

To be loved by this beautiful angel?

God must have made her just for me.

For this angel on my shoulder

Is all that I will ever need.

I've got an angel on my shoulder.

A gift sent from heaven above.

This angel on my shoulder

Deserves more than just my mortal love.

I've got an angel on my shoulder,

And as I lie here wide awake,

I wonder why she has stood by me,

After all that she has had to take.

I'm far from being a saint,

Sometimes I drink and raise some hell.

But this angel on my shoulder

Still loves me more than I can tell.

I've got an angel on my shoulder.

A gift sent from heaven above.

This angel on my shoulder

Deserves more than just my mortal love.

I've got an angel on my shoulder.
