That's What Angels Do

(album: Can't Behave - 2008)

He drove away, I couldn't move
First bitter taste of what love can do
Sat on that porch, alone and cried
It hurt so bad, I could have died
Then mama came out
Wrapped her arms around me
Told me
God has someone better for me
Dried my tears, and she just held me

[Chorus]
That's what angels do, that's what love is for
To point you to a window when you can't find the door
When you're all out of faith, it's more than you can take
You're not strong enough you need someone to pull you through
That's what angels do
That's what angels do

Big city streets, bright city lights
Some days the dream's not worth the fight
Miss my hometown, wide open space
A clear blue sky, a slower pace
Then my phone rings and I hear his voice
Say baby girl, I'm proud of you, you're not alone
He gives me hope, he lifts me up

[Repeat Chorus]

When you're all out of faith, it's more than you can take
You're not strong enough you need someone to pull you through
That's what angels do
That's what angels do

When there's no way on earth
You can't make it work
That's what angels do
That's what angels do
