I just needed someone to hold

When the bottle was empty

and the nights grew cold



In my hour of darkness

In my time of need

You were my angel of mercy

And helped me to believe



You touched my soul

When I was lonely

You held me up

when I couldn't fly



There's no words could explain

How I feel inside

And this I tell you



In a world full of anger

and times gone strange

You held me close

You held me close to you



Lay my head on your shoulder

I finally let it all out

It felt good for a moment

Not living in a shadow of doubt



But everybody needs a little something

Tu pull them through

I gave one for the other

And God know that the other was you



Chorus:

Now only time will tell

Only time will tell

If our love is scratched in sand

Or if it's etched in stone

Only time will tell

Only time will tell

If our love will stand

Or walk the road along



My angel of mercy

Pulled me through somehow

I just hope you know

I need you now



Solo



You're the one

That touched my very soul

The one who held on tight

God knows you never let go



Angel of mercy

It's time we closed the door

Put out the lights

And burn the fire

Burn the fire inside



Angel of mercy

You pulled me through

And this I tell to you

God know I'd tell it to you
