And watching you sleep made me cry
The night so still,your body so warm
The gentle pound of your heart was my lullaby
If that night could've lasted forever
In your arms I would gladly have died
I could let forever pass us by
Just lying there by your side
But you can't hold on to an angel
Whose wings get in the way
I can't make you love me forever
And I can't make you stay
And if those wings are stretched to fly
To see if the grass is greener on the other side
I've got to let my angel go
To let your heart be your guide
Some people run their whole lives
Never knowing what they are running from
They become so afraid of falling in love
When happiness waits if only they'd succumb
Loving someone is not for the weak at heart
For it can break even the strong
But if that love is mutual
Then the world is yours and you can't go wrong
I could look into your angel eyes
And all I see is a reflection of me
But I know deep inside you there lurks a doubt
That even I can't help you free
I'm just so tired of running from love
And I took one moment to let it sink in
Now, you have made an impression on my heart
And things will never be the same again
I love who I am when I'm with you
You make me feel beautiful and whole again
You bring me laughter through my ocean of tears
And, God, how I love you then
As long as love encourages you
And inspires you to be your best
Then you know you can only grow as a person
You're too special to settle for anything less
I'm tearing down the wall around my heart now
Just to let you see inside
I might have tried to appear so tenacious
But what I feel, I can no longer hide
You see the real beauty in me
The beauty not everyone sees
I'm telling you now because holding back can kill
And eat at you like a disease
So, now I step back and let you fly
But my heart is going with you wherever you go
And I just couldn't go on the rest of my life
With the fact that I never let you know
I'll be looking over my shoulder, hoping to see you return
And until the day that you decide
A flame, for you, still burns
