(Mark McGuinn/Bobby E. Boyd)



She's as close to perfect

As I am far away

She touches me and instantly I find myself standing

Outside Heaven's Gate

That's just something about her, I quit trying to figure out

I find myself no longer walking through

That valley of the shadow of a doubt



The Angels must be watching over one of their own

Heaven is at hand anytime that she's close

I hear distant voices singing glorious songs

Don't ask me I know I just know I know

That the Angels must be watching over one of their own



There's a glow about her

And I am drawn into her light

She smiles at me and suddenly

There's peace and understanding

Like I have never knwon in my life

She says she comes from Memphis

And I know she could never lie

But just how the heck did Memphis

Get higher than the stars in the sky



The Angels must be watching over one of their own

Heaven is at hand anytime that she's close

I hear distant voices singing glorious songs

Don't ask me I know I just know I know

That the Angels must be watching over one of their own



The Angels, Angels, Angels must be watching

Over one of their own (repeat)
