Nanci Griffith Angels lyrics

The touch of your hand will let me know

You`ll take me in then let me go

If not for love why would we meet?

How is it turned two into one so easily?



We’re lifted up by Angels



You understand, and you never say

How every plan could fade away

If not for love where would you be?

Ashes to dust, water to rust, away from me



(chorus)

We’re lifted up by Angels

Higher than the world

Strong enough to leave it

Bound to learn the secret

Angels never hurt

Close enough to heaven

Above the rain

Darkness cannot reach us

Let the Angels teach us

Only love remains



We’re lifted up by Angels



Given wings to fly

Leave the night behind us

Trust the light to find us

Even as we rise



We’re lifted up by Angels



(chorus)
