Too Many Angels

[Verse 1]

There's an angel on a ribbon

Hanging from the armoire door

There's a Cupid with his feet crossed

On the bird cage by the door

There's a baby angel drummer

His eyes are open wide

And two more tiny cherubs

On the mantle side by side

Too many angels

Have seen me crying

It's too many angels

Have heard you lying

[Verse 2]

There are photographs of children

All in their silver frames

On the window sills and tabletops

Lit by candle flamеs

And upon their angel faces

Lifе's expectations climb

Where the moment has preserved them

From the ravages of time

Too many angels

Have seen me crying (Mmm hmm)

Too many angels

Have heard you lying

[Chorus]

Bring the morning on

I want to step out in the morning sun

I want this darkness gone

These apparitions coming one by one

But there's no end in sight

Only the dead of night

And too many angels

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

Bring the morning on

Voices sing of day

Let me step out in the morning sun

Through the flood of tears

I want this darkness gone

Your sweet face appears

These apparitions coming one by one

But there's no end in sight

Only the dead of night

And too many angels (Yeah)

[Outro]

Mmm, too many, too many angels

This darkness gone

Only want this darkness gone

Too many angels

Bring the morning

Bring the morning on
