He searched for
those wings that he knew that this angel
should have at her back And although he can't
find them he really don't mind because he
knows they'll grow back And he reached for
that halo that he knows that she had when she
first caught his eye Although his hand came
back empty he's really not worried 'cause
he knows it still shines
I can't promise
that I'll grow those wings or keep this
tarnished halo shined but I'll never betray
your trust angel mine
I search all the
time on the ground for our shadows cast side
by side Just to remind me that I haven't gone
crazy that you exist and are mine And I
know that your skin is as warm and as real as
that smile in your eyes But I have to keep
touching and smelling and tasting for fear
it's all lies
I can't promise that I'll
grow those wings or keep this tarnished halo
shined but I'll never betray your
trust angel mine
Last night I awoke
from the deepest of sleeps with your voice in
my head And I could tell by your
breathing that you were still sleeping I
repeated those words that you had said
I
can't promise that I'll grow those wings or
keep this tarnished halo shined but I'll
never betray your trust angel
mine
