"Angel" lyrics

"Angel"

Have you seen this man?
His name is Jim
He's about five foot ten and he never eats
His body's worn a little thin
He's somebody's son
Their pride and joy
Some little brother's hero
A mama's baby boy

She says he's a real good man
But somehow he lost his way
I gotta get him home
I can't wait another day

He was an angel sent down from heaven
He was gonna do great things
'Til that white rock came along
Took his soul and stole his wings
Was it someone's fault, something they said
Or something they could have done?
Give him one more kiss, one more hug
One more "I love you, son"
He was an angel

Somebody told me
They got him a job at the docks
'Til he laid out for two weeks straight
Chasing that devil rock
But he never missed one day of school in his whole life
And he never missed one chance to do what he thought was right

He was an angel sent down from heaven
He was gonna do great things
'Til that white rock came along
Took his soul and stole his wings
Was it someone's fault, something they said
Or something they could have done?
Give him one more kiss, one more hug
One more "I love you, son"
He was an angel

Now you might smile and ask me
Why don't you just give up on him?
What kind of father would I be
To just give up on my son, Jim?

'Cause he was my angel sent down from heaven
He was gonna do great things
'Til that white rock came along
Took his soul and stole his wings
Was it all my fault, something I said
Or something I could have done?
Give him one more kiss, one more hug
One more "I love you, son"
He was an angel

Have you seen my angel?
