Marc Cohn — If I Were an Angel

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] Probably think I'm fooling myself That I just want to have my fun But leaving you believe me Is the first good deed I've done I'm only want to save you From more heartache if I stay [Chorus] 'Cause baby if I, if I, if I were an angel (Yeah) Baby if I, if I, if I were an angel Baby if I, if I, if I were an angel I would have earned my wings today [Verse 3] I didn't get a message From anyone on high And I don't get instructions On who to save and why No heavenly connections sent me down this way [Chorus] But baby if I, if I, if I, I were an angel Baby if I, if I, if I, I were an angel If I, if I, if I, I were an angel I, I would have earned my wings today [Verse 4] Look up in the sky tonight That's where I may be High above the hillside Far across the sea And if you hear the church bells ring Everything's okay [Chorus] Baby if I, if I, if I, I were an angel Baby if I, if I, if I, I were an angel (If I was) Baby if I, if I, if I, I were an angel I, I would have earned my wings today (Yeah) I would have earned my wings today
