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
