Angels Lyrics - Singles - Nanci Griffith

The touch of your hand will let me know 

You'll take me in then let me go 

If not for love why would we meet? 

How is it turned two into one so easily? 

We're lifted up by Angels 

You understand, and you never say 

How every plan could fade away 

If not for love where would you be? 

Ashes to dust, water to rust, away from me 

We're lifted up by Angels 

Higher than the world 

Strong enough to leave it 

Bound to learn the secret 

Angels never hurt 

Close enough to heaven 

Above the rain 

Darkness cannot reach us 

Let the angels teach us 

Only love remains 

We're lifted up by Angels 

Given wings to fly 

Leave the night behind us 

Trust the light to find us 

Even as we rise 

We're lifted up by Angels 

We're lifted up by Angels 

Higher than the world 

Strong enough to leave it 

Bound to learn the secret 

That angels never hurt 

We're lifted up by Angels 

Above the rain 

Darkness cannot reach us 

Let the angels teach us 

Only love remains 

We're lifted up by Angels
