If I Were An Angel Lyrics - Join The Parade - Marc Cohn

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 

Well you probably think Im foolin myself 

That I just want to have my fun 

But leavin you believe me 

Is the first good deed Ive done 

Im only tryin to save us from more heartache if I stay 

Cause baby if I, if I, if I were an angel 

If I, if I, if I were an angel 

I would have earned my wings today 

I didnt get a message 

From anyone on high 

And I dont get instructions 

On who to save and why 

No heavenly connections sent me down this way 

But baby if I, if I, if I were an angel 

If I, if I, if I were an angel 

I would have earned my wings today 

So look up in the sky tonight 

Thats where I may be 

High over the hillsides 

Far across the sea 

And if you hear the churchbells ring 

Everythings okay 

Cause baby if I, if I, if I were an angel 

I would have earned my wings today
