"An Angel Like You" lyrics

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 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
And 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
