About Angel

"Angel" is a song recorded by the British duo Eurythmics. It was written by band members Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart and produced by Stewart and Jimmy Iovine. The song appears on Eurythmics' We Too Are One album and was released as its fourth UK single in May 1990, and would be the duo's final single for almost a decade (discounting the re-release of two older singles the following year). It was also released as the second single from the album in the US. Lennox said in an interview at the time that the song was inspired by the death of her aunt, as she sings about a woman who has killed herself and now has "gone to meet her maker". The music video, directed by Sophie Muller, features the duo taking part in a seance and running through a burning house, and was not widely seen in the US (not shown at all on MTV) supposedly due to several scenes depicting the occult. "Angel" peaked at number twenty-three on the UK singles chart, though failed to chart on the US Billboard Hot 100. Annie Lennox re-recorded the song in 1997 for the Diana, Princess of Wales: Tribute album. more »

Underneath this canopy of snow
Where fifty-seven winters
Took their toll 
Where did you go?

And I believed in you
I believed in you
Like Elvis Presley
Singing psalms on a Sunday 
(Where did you go?)

Well she's gone to meet her maker
Back to where she came from
Come to save her soul
(Come to save her soul)
Come to take her home
'Cause it's late and past
Your bedtime, well past bedtime

Angel
My angel
Fly over me
Angel

Angel
My angel
Fly over me
Angel

She took her life
Within her hands
She took her life
Within her own two hands
And no one can tell her
What to do now

And I believed in you
I believed in you
Like Elvis Presley
Singin' live from Las Vegas
(Where did you go?)

Well she's gone to meet her maker
Back to where she came from
Come to save her soul
(Come to save her soul)
Come to take her home
'Cause it's late and past
Your bedtime, well past bedtime

Angel
My angel
Fly over me
Angel

Angel
My angel
Fly over me
Angel

Close your eyesâ?¦
And go to sleepâ?¦
Forever in my armsâ?¦
I'll keep you safe
Forever
I'll keep you safeâ?¦

[Repeat: x5]
Angel
My angel
Fly over me
Angel
