Marc Cohn If I Were An Angel Lyrics

If I Were An Angel Lyrics

I finally see your face

In my rear-view mirror

With each mile I put
between us

The road keeps gettin’ clearer

I only wish that I could
make a quiet getaway



Well you probably think I’m foolin’
myself

That I just want to have my fun

But leavin’ you believe
me

Is the first good deed I’ve done

I’m only tryin’ to save us from
more heartache if I stay



Cause baby if I, if I, if I were an
angel

If I, if I, if I were an angel

I would have earned my wings
today



I didn’t get a message

From anyone on high

And I
dont get instructions

On who to save and why

No heavenly connections
sent me down this way



But baby if I, if I, if I were an angel

If I, if I, if I were an angel

I would have earned my wings today



So look up in the sky tonight

Thats where I may be

High
over the hillsides

Far across the sea

And if you hear the
churchbells ring

Everything’s okay



Cause baby if I, if I, if
I were an angel

I would have earned my wings today
