Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
(Steve Wilkinson/Rory Michael Bourke) Sometimes I swear I live with an angel Sent from above to watch over me He wears his love like a halo If he's not an angel, what else can he be He wouldn't say he's anything special Betcha that's how all those angels are But when he comes around miracles happen I felt the first one when he touched my heart Though I've never seen him fly On the wings of love he carries me Heaven bound I'm mystified How with just one kiss he made me Believe in angels Though I've never seen him fly This mornin' he walked up Smiled and I kissed him I never let on that he's not foolin' me But I think it's so cute how he says He's from Houston I swear there's wings tucked up his sleeves Though I've never seen him fly On the wings of love he carries me Heaven bound I'm mystified How with just one kiss he made me Believe in angels Though I've never seen him fly Heaven bound I'm mystified How with just one kiss he made me Believe in angels Though I've never seen him fly
