Deep in my Christmas memories
Is the angel that flew to the top of our tree
She guarded the presents that lay beneath
And when no one was lookin'
She smiled down at me
I stared up in wonder at her tender eyes
I wanted to touch her but she was too high
Angel my angel
Dream that I wish would come true
All I ever wanted was an angel like you
Now the years they will make a boy a man
But there still are some mysteries I don't understand
How the moment we met I knew that you would be mine
I felt like I'd known you a long, long time
It was just around Christmas and I felt alone
I looked in your eyes and I knew I'd come home
Angel my angel
Dream that I wish would come true
All I ever wanted was an angel like you
Now we tucked our angels in upstairs
An` heard them say their Christmas prayers
We put all their presents under the tree
As I reached for your hand do you see what I see
That shiny old angel is smiling at you
Like this was the secret that she always knew
Angel my angel
Dream that I wish would come true
All I ever wanted was an angel like you
Oh, all I`ve ever wanted was an angel like you...
