Angel

I got a call the other day

It was my sister Carolyn

Saying, "Aretha, come by when you can

I've got something that I want to say"

And when I got there

She said "You know

Rather than go through a long drawn-out thing

I think the melody on the box will help me explain"

Gotta find me an angel

To fly away with me

Gotta find me an angel

Who will set me free

My heart is without a home

I don't want to be alone

I gotta find me an angel

In my life

In my life

Too long have I loved

So unattached within

So much that I know

That I need somebody so

So I'll just go on

Hoping that I'll find me someone

Gotta find me an angel

In my life

In my life

I know there must be someone somewhere for me

Oh I've lived too long without the love of someone

And there's no misery, oh, like the misery I feel in me

Gotta find me an angel

In my life (He'll be there, now don't you worry)

In my life (Keep looking and just keep cooking)

In my life (He'll be there, now don't you worry)

In my life
