I've never been so certain, 
I've never been so sure.
We're on the side of angels,
If we believe this love is pure.

Is it so hard to trust it,
'Cause we've been wrong before?
There comes a time in every life,
We find the heart we're waiting for.

After all the might-have-beens,
The close and distant calls
After all the try-agains,
Don't be afraid to fall
We're on the side of angels after all.

Every time you touch me,
Don't you feel it too?
The gentle hand that's guiding us
You to me, me to you

After all the might-have-beens,
The close and distant calls
After all the try-agains,
Don't be afraid to fall
We're on the side of angels after all.

Heaven only knows
Why this took so long
But only Heaven knows
A love is right or wrong

After all the might-have-beens,
The close and distant calls
After all the try-agains,
Don't be afraid to fall
We're on the side of angels,
On the side of angels

We're on the side of angels
After all,
Oh, yeah
On the side of Angels
Oh
