Wild Angel

(gary harrison/harry stinson)

Bewteen the perfect world and the bottom line
Keeping love alive in these troubled times
It's a mircle in itself
And we know too well what that's about
Still we made it through, only god knows how
We must've had a little help
(must've been)

Chorus:
Wild angels, wild angels
Watching over you and me
Wild angels, wild angels
Baby what could it be

Well it must've been hard, it must've been tough
Keeping up with crazy fools like us
'cause it's so easy to fall apart
And we still break each other's heart sometimes
Spent some nights on the jagged side
Somehow we wake up in each other's arms
(must've been)

Repeat chorus

Bridge:
There are some nights
I watch you while you dream
I swear i hear the sound of beating wings

Repeat chorus

(craig bickhardt/jeff pennig)

They drank their anniversary glass
A silent moment passed
Then they kissed
She knows there's something on his mind
He'll tell her in due time
What it is

He says "i've never built
Your mansion on a hill
Or warmed you in the spanish sun
I simply blink my eye
And think as years fly by
Of all the things we've never done"

She smiles and takes his hand in hers
And says "it just occured
To me now
The thought that brings you such regret
What hasn't happened yet
It makes me proud..."

"you never walked away
When i needed you to stay
Or made me feel i'm not the one
There've been no broken vows
And there reason we're here now
Is all the things we've never done"

"we've never grown apart
You never broke my heart
With secrets that you've kept me from
We've never been untrue
And i'm still here with you
Through all the things we've never done"

(marc beeson/kin vassey/david mackechnie)

With lipstick on his collar and a trace of cheap perfume
He undresses in the darkness and eases into bed
With her face turned to the other wall she pretends to be asleep
But it doesn't really matter 'cause there's nothing to be said

He calls from work to tell her he's sorry about last night
If he uses all the right words she'll forgive him once again
But the phone just keeps on ringin' and knows something's wrong
He feels his heart start pounding, and his head begins to spin

Chorus:
Phones are ringin' all over town
North and south and east and west on main street up and down
He's got friends of his callin' friends of hers
But she's nowhere to be found
Phones are ringin' all over town

He calls the hospital, her sister's house and the place that does her hair
God, if somethin' ever happened he'd surely lose his mind
And he's thinkin' it's just like she's disappeared into thin air
As american flight #204 departs right on time

Repeat chorus

Well he knows she'd never leave him
She's just got to be around
Phones are ringin'
Phones are ringin'
Phones are ringin' all over town

People talking, think i'm all right
Think i'm doing fine
Goin' through the motions of my life
Go to work now every mornin'
Yeah i play the part
And hide away the contents of my solemn heart

But when the sun goes down
And the moon is high
I can't control the flood of all these tears inside
And if they only knew
They'd be so surprised
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise

Keep 'em guessin', keep 'em laughin'
Build that wall up high
As long as they don't see the other side
You've really done it
Done a number, a number on my soul
But i'll be damned if i'll ever let you know

But when the sun goes down
And the moon is high
There's no way to hide the truth from me, myself, and i
Yeah, i wear it well
Though it ain't my size
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise

I'm not one to show emotion
Like some fools i see
I won't wear my heart out on my sleeve
I don't miss you
Not for a moment
I'm gonna be okay

Words of wisdom spoken
By the light of day

But when the sun goes down
And the moon is high
Your memory pulls me under like a strong riptide
I'm still in love with you
It's all smoke and lights
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise
I'm just a good pretender in a great disguise

We came out west together with a common desire
The fever we had might-a set the west coast on fire
Two months later got a troublin' mind
'cause my baby moved out and left me behind
But it's all right 'cause it's midnight and i got two more bottles of wine

Well, the way he left sure turned my head around
Seemed like over night he just up and put me down
Ain't gonna let it bother me today
'cause i've been workin' and i'm too tired anyway
But it's all right 'cause it's midnight and i got two more bottles of wine

Well, i'm sixteen hundred miles from the people i know
I've been doin' what i can but opportunity sure comes slow
Thought i'd be a big star by today
But i've been sleepin' in a warehouse in west l.a.
But it's all right 'cause it's midnight and i got two more bottles of wine
Yes, it's all right 'cause it's midnight and i got two more bottles of wine

(pat bunch/pam rose/mary ann kennedy)

I don't know what brought us here
Something in the stars said you and me
I don't know where this feeling comes from
Surely it was meant to be
For i have known you even in my dreams
My eyes are open, my heart can see

As sure as stars light the midnight sky
As sure as children wonder why
As sure as newborn babies cry
I was born to give my love to you
Born to give my love to you

Heaven must be holding on
To all the love i'm feeling now
Here we are this is the moment
I believe it's our turn somehow
Hearts together, hands across the night
One forever, finally in sight

As sure as stars light the midnight sky
As sure as children wonder why
As sure as newborn babies cry
I was born to give my love to you
Born to give my love to you

I was born to give my love to you
(i was born to give my love to you)
I was born to give my love to you
I was born to give my love to you
