Angel of Mine

At last, I managed to piece together another song I wrote in 1997 (though there are gaps here and there that I still can't remember [indicated by the XXX]... Believe it or not, I composed this song in a single night to sieze the moment)

After I got to know what I needed to know from the girl (not the one from my first song), I rushed back to my room and locked myself in... Just me and my Yamaha classical guitar that had become my trademark as the wandering traubedour... and a tape recorder...

Slowly but surely, the words flowed from my pen... An irrepressible flood of emotions that I could hardly contain... And then a melody jumped into my head...

I smiled...

I knew I had a winner...

After a few hours I emerged from my room, with a cassette in hand... Holding it like one would hold a newborn... Tenderly... Preciously... Full of hope and expectation...

I passed my baby to a mutual friend with the message

"Please pass it to her"...

A look of understanding and a sense of agreement passed between us... A silent communion of soldiers on a mission...

No need for names... We both knew who the 'her' meant...

This is the song that I wrote, those many years ago...

The song is called:

Angel

Oh my angel

Why must you keep me waiting?
I got a lot of love in store

and a passion that's flaming

I got a heart that's true

That I'm saving all for you

When you said the words

That were too good to be true

Chorus:

You are the angel...

of my life

Someone so beautiful...

and sublime

You are the angel...

of my life

I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings

If what I've done is strange,

Please find it in your heart to...

Rearrange

I'm sorry if I come on strong

But please don't run away,

I'm telling you that I am here...

To stay

Chorus

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

XXXXXXXXXXXX

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

XXXXXXXXX

Please do not say never

Even then I'd wait forever,

Till my dying breath reaches out...

To you

Chorus

END

So there it is, the second song that I wrote...

And the answer to your question is...

Yes...

I did get the girl :)
