When I first saw you, I already knew
There was something inside of you
Something I thought that I would never find
Angel of mine
There was something inside of you
Something I thought that I would never find
Angel of mine

I look at you, looking at me
Now I know why they say, the best things are free
I'm gonna love you, boy, you are so fine
Angel of mine
Now I know why they say, the best things are free
I'm gonna love you, boy, you are so fine
Angel of mine

How you changed my world you'll never know
I'm different now, you helped me grow
I'm different now, you helped me grow

You came into my life, sent from above, uh huh
When I lost all hope, you showed me love, uh huh
I'm checking for you, boy, you're right on time
Angel of mine
When I lost all hope, you showed me love, uh huh
I'm checking for you, boy, you're right on time
Angel of mine
verse 3
Nothing means more to me than what we share
No one in this whole world can ever compare
Last night, the way you moved is still on my mind
Angel of mine
No one in this whole world can ever compare
Last night, the way you moved is still on my mind
Angel of mine

I never knew I could feel each moment
As if they were new
Every breath that I take, the love that we make
I only share it with you, you, you, you, you

Something I thought that I would never find
