Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I dreamed you
I saw your face
Cut my lifeline when drifting through space
[Chorus]
I saw an angel
I saw my faith
I can only thank God it was not too late
[Verse 2]
Over mountains
I floated away
Across an ocean
I dreamed her name
[Chorus]
I followed an angel
Down through the gates
I can only thank God it was not too late
[Bridge]
Sing a little song of loneliness
Sing one to make me smile
Another round for everyone
I'm here for a little while
[Verse 3]
Now I'm walking this street on my own
But she's with me everywhere I go
[Chorus]
Yeah, I found an angel
I found my place
I can only thank God it was not too late
I can only thank God it was not too late
I can only thank God it was not too late
