Angel

Jim Ed Brown and the Browns · Going Up the Country [RCA] [1970]

(Ben Peters)



It was in the early morning

When I looked through sleepy eyes

To find I had an angel by my side

It was in the early morning

That I first would realize

I could never love another if I tried.



In the middle of the morning

Working twenty miles away

I would stop to rest and think of her a while

Of how she'd stand there in the doorway

As I left the house each day

And the love so plain to see in angel's smile.



And I'd always call her

When noon time came around

Knowin' she'd been waitin' by the phone

And though I was only

On the other side of town

You'd think it's been a week that I've been gone.



But it was in the early evening

When I finally made it home

She'd come running to my arms when I'd call

It was in the early evening

When our world became our own

And that's the time I miss angel most of all.



And that's the time I miss angel most of all...
