So many nights alone
Without you by my side
I never knew
What I was missing

But then you came along
With all your special ways
Bringing me joy, laughter
What I was wishing for

My angel on my shoulder
You give me shelter
You give me love and affection
And every time I turn around
You're still right here
Angel, my angel, ooh, my dear

My wonderful friend
In time of trouble
And when all the rest of the world
Runs away

You opened up my heart
And made me realize
You would be the one
Who would stay here

My angel on my shoulder
You give me shelter
You give me love and affection
And every time I turn around
You're still right here
Angel, my angel, ooh, my dear

When things sometimes
Start looking down
You're with me
No matter what
No matter how

You seem to find a way
Sharing your love
From up above
You're all I'll ever need
God must have
Sent you to me

My angel on my shoulder
You give me shelter
You give me love and affection
And every time I turn around
You're still right here
Angel, my angel, ooh, my dear

Ooh, my dear, ooh, my dear
Ooh, my dear, ooh, my dear
