YOU ASKED ME AS YOUR FRIEND
WAS SHE SOMEONE SPECIAL TO ME AND I TOLD YOU A LIE
I KNOW JUST HOW YOU FEEL
SHE CAN MAKE THE SUN AND MOON ASHAMED TO SHINE
WHILE SOOTHING THE BEAST IN YOUR LIFE
I KNOW YOU PRAY SHE’LL STAY FOREVER
THE THOUGHT OF HER LEAVING DRIVES YOU WILD
SHE’S NATURE’S PERFECT GIFT SHE’S A REFLECTION IN GOD’S EYE
NO DON’T QUESTION JUST LOVE HER TONIGHT
‘CAUSE ALL TOO SOON THIS ANGEL MUST FLY
ANOTHER PLACE AND TIME I BUILT MY WHOLE WORLD AROUND HER LOVE
I TURNED AROUND AND SHE WAS GONE
A CAT WITHIN A CAGE NOW I SEE I HELD ON FAR TOO TIGHT
AND I FRIGHTENED HER AWAY
ALL THESE MANY YEARS I’VE BEEN WONDERING
WHAT WERE THE REASONS FOR HER SAYING GOODBYE
NOW WE’RE HERE MY FRIEND AND YOU’RE ASKIN’ MY ADVICE
NO DON’T QUESTION JUST LOVE THAT GIRL TONIGHT
CAUSE ALL TOO SOON THIS ANGEL MUST FLY
ALL TOO SOON THIS ANGEL MUST FLY
