Performed by toni braxton



I heard he sang a lullaby

I heard he sang it from his heart

When i found out thought i would die

Because that lullaby was mine

I heard he sealed it with a kiss

He gently kissed her cherry lips

I found that so hard to believe

Because his kiss belonged to me



How could an angel break my heart

Why didn't he catch my falling star

I wished i didn't wish so hard

Maybe i wished our love apart

How could an angel break my heart



I heard her face was white as rain

Soft as a rose that blooms in may

He keeps her picture in a frame

And when he sleeps he calls her name

I wonder if she makes him smile

The way he used to smile at me

I hope she doesn't make him laugh

Because his laugh belongs to me



Hook



Oh my soul is dying, it's crying

I'm trying to understand

Please help me

How could an angel break my heart



I heard her face was white as rain

(your face is white as rain)

Soft as a rose that blooms in may

(soft as a rose in may)

He keeps her picture in a frame

(i keep your picture)

And when he sleeps he calls her name

(i only call out your name)

I wonder if she makes him smile

(she doesn't make me smile)

The way he used to smile at me

(i only smile at you)

I hope she doesn't make him laugh

(she doesn't make me laugh)

Because his laugh belongs to me

(my laugh belongs to you)



How could an angel break my heart

(you are my heart)

Why didn't he catch my falling star

(i will catch your star)

I wished i didn't wish so hard

(don't wish so hard)

Maybe i wished our love apart

(love falls apart)

How could an angel break my heart

(your tender heart)



Oh (my love)

My (i know that)

Soul (i know your)

Is (is dying)

Dying (i know your soul is crying)

It's crying (i know that you've been dying)

I'm trying (trying)

To understand

Please help me (please help me)



How could an angel break my heart

(i'd never break your heart)

Why didn't he catch my falling star

(i'd catch your falling star)

I wished i didn't wish so hard

(you never wished too hard)

Maybe i wished our love apart

(we're not apart)

How could an angel break my heart

(oooh yeah)
