If you’re gonna be true to me,
first you’ve got to be true to yourself, oh yeah.
It don’t matter about nobody else,
oh no, if it’s there in you mind.
It’s a lesson I’ve just come to learn,
something I’ve only just begun to learn, oh yeah,
for the very first time,
for the very first time.
Angel Above My Head,
calling my name in different places,
Angel Above My Head,
saying it’s alright to show your face to the world.
Everything seems new to me,
such a very recent turn of events,
And the truth doesn’t make any sense, oh no,
for the very first time,
It’s a lesson that I had to learn,
something almost too sad to learn, oh yeah,
for the very first time,
for the very first time.
Angel Above My Head,
tapping me gently on my shoulder.
Angel Above My Head,
saying it’s time to be growing older, my friend.
You’re a memory that lives in my soul,
like a melody that I can’t forget, oh no.
It’s a memory with just one regret, oh yeah:
just a little more time.
If we had another year or two,
I would spend it being near to you, oh yeah,
like the very first time,
like the very first time.
Angel Above My Head,
calling my name in different places,
Angel Above My Head,
saying it’s alright to show your face now.
If you want to be true to me,
first you’ve got to be true to yourself, oh yeah.
It don’t matter about nobody else, oh no.
Keep me there in your mind.
I’ll be there by your side.
