It was a day just like (G)an y oth er day.

I was a boy just like (Fmaj7)ev ’ry oth er boy,

when a girl un like an y I had seen, it’s like she (Am)stepped out of a dream

and (Fmaj7)in to my world.

It could ’ve been the sum mer wind play ing with her hair.

As the sun danced in her eyes, we were stand ing there.

She smiled; I for got my name, ’cause all I was think ing:

May be I’m cra zy, but I’m pray ing that an an gel will love me, an an gel will love me.

May be I’m a fool, but I’m still fall ing, ask ing Heav en a bove me for an an gel to love me the rest of my life,

the rest of my life.

You’re the proof that the (G)Fa ther an swers prayer,

’cause some how, some way, (Fmaj7)you and I are stand ing here

with a sa cred prom ise and a (G)ring that says it all.

Oh, I’ve (Am)just be gun to fall,

and from the (F)deep est part of me, I say, “I do.” me.

And af ter all the chang ing sea sons have turned to years, the crowds are gone and the songs have fad ed, well, I’ll still be here, hold ing you and thank ing Heav en for my an gel.
