Story behind the song
Written for a lady I met in Russia.
Lyrics
Angel
Chorus
I have known for a short while
An angel with the sweetest smile
Draped in goodness, with no wings unfurled
My angel lives halfway across the world
Verse 1
As I looked into your face
I saw the beauty of your grace
I saw the radiance of your eyes
Saw such truth shine forth
And not a mask of lies
Verse 2
You were such a stunning sight
You could have appeared dressed in white
Doing your angelic work on high
But your feet were planted on this earth
As I descended from the sky
Chorus
I have known for a short while
An angel with the sweetest smile
Draped in goodness, with no wings unfurled
My angel lives halfway across the world
Verse 3
You chose my name late one day
Became an angel, pledged to pray
For blessing for me from above
An act of sweet humility
Done for a stranger with such love
Verse 4
Every word you sent to me
Built me up and set me free
Bringing reassurance, bringing peace
In a world so full of war
You just make my hope increase
Chorus
I have known for a short while
An angel with the sweetest smile
Draped in goodness, with no wings unfurled
My angel lives halfway across the world
Verse 5
With cryptic thoughts you chose to bless
I had no idea I must confess
Who my angel was at all
But the way you built me up
I could have been ten foot tall
Verse 6
When I found out it was you
I didn't know just what to do
I didn't know just what to say
You took every breath I had
When I found out that day
