Perfect Angel

(m. riperton r. rudolph)

Any day now can't you see
You'll be coming back to me
Comin' back to where you wanna be
And the time that you've been gone
Will vanish like the song
Sung by the rain when we were fast asleep

And our days will be filled by the light of children's laughter
All our nights will be touched by the glow of lover's songs
Side by side in the sun we will build the world we're after
Side by side we will lie when the day's good work is done

Any day now can't you see
You'll be sitin' here by me
Laughing at the fools we used to be
And the things that we've done wrong
Will be now dead and gone
Buried out beneath our apple tree

And our days will be filled by the light of children's laughter
All our nights will be touched by the glow of lover's songs
Side by side in the sun we will build the world we're after
Side by side we will lie when the day's good work is done

I love you

The reasons for my life are in a million faces
Like aching promises i feel them in my bones
Slipping through my fingers to dance upon the road
The reasons for my life are more than i can hold
But oh, the sweet delight to sing with all my might
To spark the inner light of wonder burning bright
You're not alone
You're not alone

The reasons for my life are buried in deep places
Words once could awaken them
These seeds that i have sown
Ringing through the madness to crash against the cold
The reasons for my life cannot be bought or sold

The reasons for my life are filling all my spaces
Like rushing waters flow, they carry me along
Twisting through my memory to pull free from the load
The reasons for my life are more than i was told

Everytime he comes around i feel like i'm on fire
When he looks into my eyes and sees down to my soul
It's so hard for me to tell if this is just desire
Or the love i need to make my spirit whole
How am i to know?

Now i ain't lookin' for a man to hold me for an hour
I ain't lookin' for a man to love me for a day
Every time he comes around i get the funny feelin'
What i'm looking for don't matter anyway
Hey, it don't matter anyway

'cause every since i was a child
I dreamed about my baby's smile
It scares me so to say
I wanna be with him in the worst darn way

Cause every time he comes around i feel like i'm on fire
When he whispers in my ear i start to lose control
Still it's so hard for me to tell if this is just desire
Or the love i need to make my spirit whole
How am i to know?

Cause every since i was a child
I dreamed about my baby's smile
It scares me so to say
I wanna be with him in the worst darn way

Cause every time he comes around i feel like i'm on fire
Mmmm, i lose control
Still it's so hard for me to tell if this is just desire
Or the love i need to make my spirit whole

What we're making is history
Fooling impossibility
Making love, not a fantasy
Love is true, love is you
Making story book dreams come true
Feeling just enough love for two
There's such magic in being with you
Cause it's true, loving you

And i think you are the perfect angel
I think you are the perfect one
And i think you are the perfect angel
I think you are the perfect one

Long ago we played hide-go-seek
Kissing under the apple tree
Who could tell me that this would bring
Me to you, you to me, yeah
Since the start, you have been my love
Giving infinite paradise
Every night i wanna thank him twice for your love
Your sweet love

My mama told me if i was goodie
That i would find me someone to love me
