Lyrics: 
Could I believe in a man I don't see 
I wish I could hear if he’s talkin’ to me 
Cause if I could meet him, the big man upstairs 
Well I'd ask him if Grandpa still rocks in his chair 

I've met hell-raising angels, devils, and saints
Addicts on sidewalks who give more than take
Poison-filled pastors who lie through their teeth
Who scold me for asking why I should believe

They say in the good book he looks just like me
Is he tattooed and tired and can't find his peace 
Does he drown out his sorrows with whiskey cocaine
A 4:00 a.m. panic and praying for change 

Could I believe in a man I don't see 
I wish I could hear if he’s talkin’ to me 
Cause if I could meet him, the big man upstairs 
Well I'd ask him if Grandpa still rocks in his chair 

I was young and outrageous, rage-filled and desperate
For someone to show me that I ain't alone
The more that you give him the better it gets
Grandpa would say as he walked me back home

But Grandpa ain't here and the world's feeling dark
I'm looking for sunlight to patch up my heart
I sat myself down in an old wooden pew
I cried out in silence and hoped to hear you 

Could I believe in a man I don't see 
I wish I could hear if he’s talkin’ to me 
Cause if I could meet him, the big man upstairs 
Well I'd ask him if Grandpa still rocks in his chair 

Could I believe in a man I don't see 
I wish I could hear if he’s talkin’ to me 
Cause if I could meet him, the big man upstairs 
Well I'd ask him if Grandpa still rocks in his chair

I’ll wait anyway

[Verse 1]
I finally learned what love was  
When I fell in love with you  
And we would have been so happy  
If you’d ever loved me too  
I made every day about you  
You were everything to me  
And my heart left with you that day  
When you decided to leave  
[Chorus]
So tell me  
Whyyyyyyy  
Wasn’t I good enough for you?  
Whyyyyyyy  
Did you tell me that you loved me too?  
Why’d you make me fall so hard? Oh baby, Why’d you walk away?  
And if you’re not here beside me, How do I make it through the day?  
How do I move on from this?  
Tell me what I’m supposed to do
Oh baby whyyyyy…..  wasn’t I good enough for you?  
[Verse 2]
Remember all our inside jokes  
You were my best friend  
Remember telling me that night  
That you would love me till the end  
We did everything together  
You kept me by your side  
You were my other half  
I was the Bonnie to your Clyde  
[Chorus]
So tell me  
Whyyyyyyy  
Wasn’t I good enough for you?  
Whyyyyyyy  
Did you tell me that  you loved me too?  
Why’d you make me fall so hard? Oh baby, Why’d you walk away?  
And if you’re not here beside me, How do I make it through the day?
How do I move on from this?  
tell me what I’m supposed to do
Oh baby whyyyyyy….. wasn’t I good enough for you?  
[Bridge]
If I was doing something wrong  
Why didn’t you tell me?  
I would have given you the world  
Ohhhh I thought that you loved me                                                   Ohhhhhh ohhhhhhhh  
[Chorus]
So tell me  
Whyyyyyyy  
Wasn’t I good enough for you?  
Whyyyyyyy  
Did you tell me that you loved me too?  
Why’d you make me fall so hard? Oh baby, Why’d you walk away?  
And if you’re not here beside me, how do I make it through the day?
How do I move on from this?  
tell me what I’m supposed to do
I just can’t seem to throw away, everything I felt for you
So How do I move on from this? Oh what am I supposed to do?
Oh baby whyyyyyy wasn’t I good enough for you?  
Please tell me  
Whyyyyyy wasn’t I good enough for you?  
Ohhhhh, ohhhh  
Why wasn’t I good enough for you?

This was a fun song to write - it was fun to sing - and fun to play with the instrumentation. I hope you enjoy it! Love you all!

Velvet night, silver air
Your reflection is everywhere
I can taste the want in your lips
Hypnotized by your angelic kiss

You are heaven in human form
Played your game in a raging storm
Your eyes were mirrors, brown and sweet
I’m helpless, wanting at your feet

An Angel's kiss is a forbidden kiss 
I know there isn't a cure for this
An Angel's kiss is a forbidden kiss 
A taste of heaven - I will always miss

An Angels kiss
Touched my lips, and didn't stay
An Angels kiss
Spread his wings, flew away
An Angel's kiss
A love so pure - it set me free
An Angel's kiss
A love so pure - it saved me

That smile could explode a dying flame
One touch and I forget my name
You breathed joy into my soul
With every breath you made me whole

Wine-stained truth and leather dreams
You promised me what heaven seems
My heart races, im trapped in time
Begging for a taste of what was mine

An Angel's kiss is a forbidden kiss 
I know there isn't a cure for this
An Angel's kiss is a forbidden kiss 
A taste of heaven - I will always miss

An Angels kiss
Touched my lips, and didn't stay
An Angels kiss
Spread his wings, flew away
An Angel's kiss
A love so pure - it set me free
An Angel's kiss
A love so pure - it saved me

The world saw a handsome man
The mask hides what words cant
You bathed in youth and the suns light
Youre a vision, making my life right

Midnight drips in the pouring rain 
Your voice a chorus, a sweet refrain
I’d give myself to feel you again
Your hold on me, hard to defend

An Angel's kiss is a forbidden kiss 
I know there isn't a cure for this
An Angel's kiss is a forbidden kiss 
A taste of heaven - I will always miss

An Angels kiss
Touched my lips, and didn't stay
An Angels kiss
Spread his wings, flew away
An Angel's kiss
A love so pure - it set me free
An Angel's kiss
A love so pure - it saved me

Hold me where the candle burns low
Tell me one truth before you go
Was it ever love or just a play
I’d lose myself anyway
Your warm heart, a musical sound
hold me tight,  keep me bound
Purity and grace show on your face
What we shared will never be erased

Velvet night ebbs like the sea
Your name still steals my breath
I pray for one more kiss
One more time... for a taste of an angel's kiss

An Angel's Kiss
