When did you leave Heaven
How could they let you go
How's ev'rything in Heaven
I'd like to know

Why did you trade Heaven
For all these earthly things
Where did you hide your halo
Where did you lose your wings

Have they missed you
Can you get back in
If I kissed you
Would it be a sin

I am only human
But you are so divine
When did you leave Heaven
Angel mine?

Ooooh, have they missed you
Can you get back in
If I should kiss you
Would it be a sin

I am only human
But you are so divine
When did you leave Heaven
Angel mine

When did you leave Heaven
Angel mine
