Wish There Were an Angel

Wish There Were an Angel
 
Afraid that if I were to sleep I would not wake
Your love doesn’t give but it only seems to take
 
You represent the many crosses that I wear
Through my tender heart your angry words tear
 
Your bitter words cut just like a knife
You have me fighting for my very life
 
My heart and soul are not good enough for you
Your kind of love can be so heartless and cruel
 
Our love has turned to ashes on the floor
You’ve left in the rain without closing the door
 
From the ashes I swear I will again rise
And wipe the falling teardrops from my eyes
 
How I wish I had an angel by my side
Heal my broken heart and mend my pride
 
An angel to wash away all of the rain
And to bandage all of my heart’s pain
 
May a heavenly angel grace himself?
Allowing me to breathe new life into myself
 
Allow me to touch the heavens above
Offering me a cure for this broken love
 
End all the melancholy my heart has endured
Show me a love that reins simple and pure
 
An angel to wash away the sands of time
Take away the aching pain in this heart of mine
 
If there were an angel to light my darkened night
Make my wounded soul to again feel alright
 
Angel please enter my broken heart to stay
Once I have found you say you’ll never go away
 
If there were an angel who could do all this for me
Then he would surely set my broken heart free
