You're My Angel Now

Verse 1

You left your jacket on the chair,

Still holding your cologne.

The house is quiet everywhere,

And I can’t bear to sleep alone.

Your coffee cup is by the sink,

Your shoes still waiting by the door.

I pour a shot, but I can’t drink —

I’m talking to empty air once more.

Chorus

Baby, you’re my angel now,

And death has shown me how.

I walk alone,

But I won’t break my vows.

This empty world can’t tell me how —

You’re gone, and time just can't turn back.

Baby, you’re my angel now.

Verse 2

The doctor called at 10:00 a.m.,

Said you were slipping, it was touch-and-go.

I held your hand and whispered then,

It was okay for you to let go.

They pulled the sheet up over your chest,

And I just stood there helpless in the room.

Your heart slipped off into its rest,

And now mine is beating out of tune.

Chorus

Baby, you’re my angel now,

And death has shown me how.

I walk alone,

But I won’t break my vows.

This empty world can’t tell me how —

You’re gone, and time just can't turn back.

Baby, you’re my angel now.

Bridge

I keep your picture by the bed,

The one I took that autumn day.

I trace your smile and shake my head —

I’d give my life to hear you say…

Final Chorus

Baby, you’re my angel now,

And death has shown me how.

I walk alone,

But I won’t break my vows.

This empty world can’t tell me how —

You’re gone, and time just can't turn back.

Baby, you’re my angel now.

You're my angel now.

Angel now.
