Wish i could find the words to say
To change your mind and make you stay
I've loved you so very long
But i know that's not the way
To stop you walking out that door
If you don't love me anymore
Lord if i could there's no price i wouldn't pay

I go to bed i try to sleep
I lie in between
I pray the lord my soul to keep
And i try so not to dream

In my arms i hold you near
With my lips i kiss you dear
I won't want to wake up
And face this new day

Only one heart, only one heart
What made you take it and break it apart?
Only one heart, only one heart
Lord why did you make us with only one heart?

I go to bed i try to sleep
I lie in between
And i pray the load my soul to keep
And i try so not to dream

Only one heart, only one heart
What made you take it and break it apart?
Only one heart is all i can give
Only one heart for as long as i live

Only one heart, only one heart
Lord why did you make us with only one heart?

I had to wait so long i had to take my time
Before love knocked upon my door
I had to be a man i had to take a stand
'cause i couldn'y take no more
I was cold i was lonely 'til you gave me the sign
Soon as you did i felt the bright sunshine
I was a deceiver now i'm a true believer in love

Because angel
With every little beat of my heart
I love you
And i just got to tell you right now

It was a hurricane it was a desert storm
It was a mountain i had to climb
I was a rolling rock i was a man alomne
And i was running out of time
I was cold i was lonely 'til you gave me the sign
Soon as you did i felt the bright sunshine
I was out of giving but now i'm into living in love

Because angel
With every little beat of my heart
I love you
And i just got to tell you right now

It's a bad bad world
With danger everywhere
But as long as you're beside me angel
I don't care

Angel
With every little beat of my heart
I love you
An i just got to tell you right now

What do you do
When it hurts
When the kids
Call you names ?
Nobody wants to know you
They won't let you join in all their games
And what will you do
When the man in the moon goes away ?
And leaves your little world in darkness
Hiding from the night time until the day

You can come to me,
I'll know what to do
And if i don't i'll pretend or i'll lie for you
But i'll be there for you
Forever
Until the day i die

Right there by your side,
To keep you safe and warm
Glad to be your shelter from the storm
Yes i'll be there for you
Forever
Until the day i die

And what will you do when you've grown
And flown away ?
Where wlll the four winds take you ?
Will they bring you back to me someday ?
And what will you do
When the one that you love breaks your heart ?
You have to pick up all the pieces
But you don't know just where to start

You can come to me,
I'll know what to do
And if i don't i'll pretend or i'll lie for you
But i'll be there for you
Forever
Until the day i die

Right there by your side
To catch you when you fall
And put you back together
Whether-with-all
Yes i'll be there for you for always
Until the day i die

Until the day i die
I'll be there
Until the day i die
Until the day i die
I promise
Until the day i die

Buy brown besoms buy them when they're new
Buy broom bessoms better never grew

Once upon a time we had a lead to follow
Well respected me used to show the way
Folks would follow on 'cause they believed the promise
Well respected men would never betray
Now look around it's hard to see integrity
You ask for direction and they don't know
Once upon a time the sun shine brightly
But once upon a time was a long time ago

Once upon a time we build a revolution
Big steel wheel roll around the world
Tin ships sailed and whaled and delivered
All the food necessary for the boys and girls
Then one day came a man with a mission
To take away everything they know
Once upon a time was a land for heroes
But once upon a time was a long time ago

Once upon a time things were so simple
You did a day's work you got a day's pay
It didn't come to much but it kept a wife and children
Burned in the lantern that light the way
Now all's left is the story of a memory
The real thing fades with a dying glow
Once upon a time was a land of plenty
But once upon a time was a long time ago

Devil walks behind you
Sneakin' ever ready to steal your world away
No matter what you mean to
He'll have you saying things you really should not say

It's not that i'm a bad man
Had my good intentions just like all the rest
But when he gets behind you
It's hard to see for real it's hard to know what's best

But just 'cause i missed it
No need to get all bitter 'n twisted

Pocket full of promises
But promises don't buy your things or pay your way
I had it my palm girl
Now there's just an empty hand down there today

But just 'cause i missed it
No need to get all bitter 'n twisted
I said just 'cause i missed it
No need to get all bitter 'n twisted

I tried to walk the straight line
Tried to pass the swingin' door on my way home
I thought about the good things
Then i thought about the bad things too and was undone

I miss my wife and kids now
Miss all the little things we used to do and say
Devil walks behind you
Sneakin' ever ready to steal your soul away

But just 'cause i missed it
No need to get all bitter 'n twisted
I said just 'cause i missed it
No need to get all bitter 'n twisted

There's no gentle way to break somebody's heart
To say - it's over - it's time for us to part

Angel dry your eyes soon you're gonna see
I was wrong for you this wasn't meant to be
Love may do the cruellest things
May bruise those angel wings
But angel love will find someone for you

So angel don't you cry in a little while
Every tear will dry and you'll look back and smile
Love may do the cruellest things
Abuse those angel wings
But angel love will find someone for you

Angel don't you cry

Love may do the cruellest things
Abuse those angel wings
But angel love will find someone for you
Oh yes angel love will find someone for you
