I Asked For An Angel

I asked for an angel
I needed a friend
It seemed like my troubles
Just weren’t gonna end
I asked for protection
From all of my pain
It seemed like my heartache
Just came back again
I asked for redemption
A freedom from life
It seemed like every day
Was just more pain and strife
I asked for an angel
And God knew what to do
He looked around the heavens
And then he sent me you
You’re sweet and kind and gentle
Something I don’t always get
You’ve given me a happiness
That I won’t soon forget
Although you don’t live close to me
You’re close to me in dreams
It goes to show that nothing
Is ever what it seems
I asked God for an angel
And now I truly see
That you’re the angel that he sent
To keep watch over me
