If I Were an Angel - Marc Cohn

I finally see your face

In my rear-view mirror

With each mile I put between us

The road keeps gettin' clearer

I only wish that I could make a quiet getaway

Well you probably think I’m foolin' myself

That I just want to have my fun

But leavin' you believe me

Is the first good deed I’ve done

I’m only tryin' to save us from more heartache if I stay

Cause baby if I, if I, if I were an angel

If I, if I, if I were an angel

I would have earned my wings today

I didn’t get a message

From anyone on high

And I don’t get instructions

On who to save and why

No heavenly connections sent me down this way

But baby if I, if I, if I were an angel

If I, if I, if I were an angel

I would have earned my wings today

So look up in the sky tonight

Thats where I may be

High over the hillsides

Far across the sea

And if you hear the churchbells ring

Everything’s okay

Cause baby if I, if I, if I were an angel

I would have earned my wings today
