an angel's song

tender friend, I hear your delicate angel's song
nightly words of passion, my favorite angel's song

birdlike melody haunts me, floating to my ears
drunk in the grace of your intricate angel's song

bittersweet anguish now brings blue tears to my eyes
melodic pain from your exquisite angel's song

I would caress you, in the dark shadows of night
weep for the promise of your private angel's song

to live daily by your side, utopian dream
accompanied by your passionate angel's song

let me buy you rare jewels, gifts of earthly riches
then share the beauty of your quiet angel's song

before the troubadour dies, offer him this gift
I pray, sing sweetly your ultimate angel's song
