No one on earth could feel like this I'm thrown and overflown with bliss There must be an angel Playing with my heart I walk into an empty room And suddenly my heart goes boom It's an orchestra of angels And they're playing with my heart (Must be talking to an angel) No one on earth could feel like this I'm thrown and overflown with bliss There must be an angel Playing with my heart And when I think that I'm alone It seems there's more of us at home It's a multitude of angels And they're playing with my heart (Must be talking to an angel) I must be hallucinating Watching angels celebrating Could this be reactivating All my senses dislocating This must be a strange deception By celestial intervention Leavin' me the recollection Of your heavenly connection I walk into an empty room And suddenly my heart goes boom It's an orchestra of angels And they're playing with my heart
