An Angel

Kelly Family · Best of Kelly Family [1999]

I wish I had your pair of wings

Had them last night in my dreams

I was chasing butterflies

Till the sunrise broke my eyes



Tonight the sky has glued my eyes

Cause what they see's an angel hive

I've got to touch the magic sky

And greet the angels in their hive



Chorus:

Sometimes I wish I were an Angel

Sometimes I wish I were you

Sometimes I wish I were an Angel

Sometimes I wish I were you



And all the sweet honey from above

Pour it all over me, sweet love

And while you're flying around my head

Your honey kisses keep me fed



I wish I had your pair of wings

Just like last night in my dreams

I was lost in paradise

I wish I'd never openend my eyes



Chorus:



But there's danger in the air

Tryin'so hard to be unfair

Danger's in the air

Tryin'so hard to give us a scare

But we're not afraid



Chorus:

An Angel
