Christian Kane - The One I Love

Angels Are Real   
(Marvin Shelton-ASCAP)


Verse 1
Just past the midnight hour
I'm saying a prayer under the water tower
Out on the edge of town
I know your daddy's probably sitting on the front porch with the light on
But I don't wanna take you home
Just let me look at you
You're just too good to be true

Chorus
Girl I wanna know more of you
I don't wanna let go of you
Who knew heaven was at the end of Main Street
I just took a left when I got to the old oak tree
you're sitting next to me, holding my hand in my '89 Chevy
Moonlight glowing on you through the windshield
You're the answer to my prayers, angels are real

Verse 2
I never thought that I could have a spiritual awakening
But girl that's where you're taking me, oh
Just let me hold you
Oh make my dreams come  true


Chorus
Girl I wanna know more of you
I don't wanna let go of you
Who knew heaven was at the end of Main Street
I just took a left when I got to the old oak tree
you're sitting next to me, holding my hand in my '89 Chevy
Moonlight glowing on you through the windshield
You're the answer to my prayers, angels are real

Bridge
Amen girl, hallelujah
Amen girl, hallelujah
Amen

Chorus
I think I want no more of you
And I ain't ever letting go of you
I found heaven at the end of Main Street
I just took a left when I got to the old oak tree
And you're sitting next to me, holding my hand in my '89 Chevy
Falling in love out by the hayfield
And I can't hide how I feel
Moonlight glowing on you through the windshield
You're the answer to my prayers, angels are real

Angels Are Real

He sat there stirrin’ his whiskey slow,
Lines on his face told stories untold.
Said, “Son, I see you starin’ at that phone,
Let me tell you ‘bout the nights I spent alone.”
Had a woman who loved me, but I let her down,
Chased the money, never stayed around.
By the time I saw what I had to lose,
She was gone, and I had nothin’ to choose.
If I could turn back time, I’d hold her close,
Tell my boy I love him, never let him go.
I’d pick up the phone, call my old man,
Tell my mama I miss her while I still can.
Don’t wait ‘til you’re lookin’ back,
Live each day like it’s your last.
I had a son, Lord, he had my name,
But I was too busy to show him the way.
Now he’s grown, got kids of his own,
But he don’t call, and I know why, son.
Lost my friends one by one,
Guess a man’s gotta give just to keep someone.
Had a family, had a life, had it all in my hands,
But I let it slip like grains of sand.
If I could turn back time, I’d hold her close,
Tell my boy I love him, never let him go.
I’d pick up the phone, call my old man,
Tell my mama I miss her while I still can.
Don’t wait ‘til you’re lookin’ back,
Live each day like it’s your last.
He looked at me with a faraway stare,
Said, “Son, don’t wait ‘til the world don’t care.
Love ‘em now, don’t let pride win,
‘Cause time don’t give second chances, my friend.”
If I could turn back time, I’d hold her close,
Tell my boy I love him, never let him go.
I’d pick up the phone, call my old man,
Tell my mama I miss her while I still can.
Don’t wait ‘til you’re lookin’ back,
Live each day like it’s your last.


If I Could Turn Back Time

for my Grandma Tillie, Till we meet again....

Goodbye

A little dirty, a little rough around the edges
The way you rearranged to find the beauty of
It's like you took a hard look at my life, said what is not will be
No telling how many times you cut your hands holding me

and I thank you
I thank you
That you accept
That my blood bleeds just as red
and I thank you
I thank the heavens above
Might be the devil instead
You still accept
This dusty rose

You're like staring at a light you wash away the things I've seen
and you taught me how not to say “Oh I'm a victim of”
You're a constant contradiction of what you see is what you get
You're so beautiful how could it be you'd have a heart like that

and I thank you
I thank you
That you accept
That my blood bleeds just as red
and I thank you
I thank the heavens above
Might be the devil instead
You still accept
This dusty rose

You took a hell of a chance to show me what I need 
You changed the way that I believe 
Your friends all say there is better out there than me.

Does it seem you'd fall for a whiskey drinking fiend
My name don't have a dime especially not a man done time
I thank god you’re loving me I thank the bottle I get through
The way they always look at me when I go anywhere with you.
 
and I thank you
I thank you
That you accept
That my blood bleeds just as red
and I thank you
I thank the heavens above
Might be the devil instead
You still accept
This dusty rose
