wings of an angel

does your halo grow heavy

hanging over your head

boy you've held my heart steady

since the first day we met

every time i lose my way

only you can bring me back

'cause your will just don't break

you keep this train on its tracks

under the wings of an angel

where my weary heart can sleep

i can close my eyes without thinking twice

'cause my soul's been set free

under the wings of an angel

heaven comes to me

the pearly gates are open wide

to eternity

as the years have grown longer

the shelves are full of dust

and our love is now stronger

than the two of us

and the memories on the wall

the colors faded away

i could relive them all

till my dying day

under the wings of an angel

where my weary heart can sleep

i can close my eyes without thinking twice

'cause my soul's been set free

under the wings of an angel

heaven comes to me

the pearly gates are open wide

to eternity

yeah the pearly gates are open wide

to eternity

when the nights are growing colder

we can just stay right here

you take the weight off my shoulders

you make the world disappear

under the wings of an angel

where my weary heart can sleep

i can close my eyes without thinking twice

'cause my soul's been set free

under the wings of an angel

heaven comes to me

the pearly gates are open wide

to eternity

i said the pearly gates are open wide

to eternity
