Too Many Angels Lyrics - Jackson Browne

There's an angel on a ribbon 

Hanging from the armoire door 

There's a Cupid with his feet crossed 

On the bird cage by the door 

There's a baby angel drummer 

His eyes are open wide 

And two more tiny cherubs 

On the mantle side by side 

Too many angels 

Have seen me crying 

Too many angels 

Have heard you lying

There are photographs of children 

All in their silver frames 

On the window sills and tabletops 

Lit by candle flames 

And upon their angel faces 

Life's expectations climb 

Where the moment has preserved them 

From the ravages of time 

Too many angels 

Have seen me crying 

Too many angels 

Have heard you lying 

Photos 

Bring the morning on 

Voices sing of day 

I want to step out in the morning sun 

Through the flood of tears 

I want this darkness gone 

Your sweet face appears 

These apparitions coming one by one 

But there's no end in sight 

Only the dead of night 

And too many angels 

Too many angels 

Have seen me crying 

Too many angels 

Have heard you lying 

Too many angels 

Bring the morning on 

Voices sing of day 

I want to step out in the morning sun 

Through the flood of tears 

I want to greet the dawn 

Cast away these fears 

Forget about the things we could have done 

Bring the morning on 

Voices sing of day 

I want to watch the children as they run 

Through the broken years 

I want this darkness gone 

Your sweet face appears 

These apparitions coming one by one 

But there's no end in sight 

Only the dead of night 

And too many angels
