Angel

By Pat Hubbard, Fred Koller, John Fitzgerald, and Pebe Sebert

Angel,
You're finding your wings
I know you can see the sky
I won't put a lock on your heart
I'd be a fool to try

Angel,
I'm cutting your strings
Don't know if you'll go or stay
Will you share tomorrow with me
Or will you go soaring away?

Look back if you leave me
I'll be waiting for you
I flew with my feelings
When my wings were new

Angel,
Turn out the light
Forget it tonight and love me
Should I wake up alone
I'll know that you've flown away

"This song was really written for a man to sing, but I wanted to sing it. Instead of getting a sex change, I tried to imagine an appropriate situation. Finally, one came to me. I was a mother letting her teenage child grow up. That made perfect sense!"

"Pat Hubbard and George Merrill coproduced this one. The drum track suggests a slow-motion ping pong game. George and Shannon Rubicam provided the heavenly backup vocals."
