One Angel Short

I don't know how many angels there are in heaven.
I don't know if they have jobs to oversee.
I don't know if they know if they do roll call at night then,
Ones gonna be missing 'cause I have her here with me.
I don't know how long it took God to make her.
He did a fantastic job as all can see.
My love for her will last for a lifetime,
that's why I'll keep her, right here with me.

One angel short, heavens gone be.
I promise to take care of her, fullfill her every need.

One angel short, heavens gone be. She's the answer to my prayer, sweet tranquility.

Thank you for my angel, because you do things right,

You'll be one angel short--- for the rest of my life.

The first time I laid my eyes upon her,

I prayed let this girl just say that she'd be mine.

I hope she's not against the thought of marriage,

A better man than me, I know she'll never find.

Now, I know that God will hear me when I pray,

And I pray that I find favor in His sight.

I don't want to make her think that I'm desperate,
but God please let her say, that she would be my wife.

Ohhh, One angel short, heavens gone be.
I promise to take care of her,
fullfill her every need.

Ohhhh say,
One angel short, heavens gone be.
She's the answer to my prayer, sweet tranquility.

Lord, Thank you for my angel,
and because you do things right,
you'll be one angel short---
for the rest of my life.

Oh, oh, say,
One angel short, heavens gone be.
Oh, I promise to take care of her,
fullfill her every need.

One angel short, heavens gone be.
She's the answer to my prayer, sweet tranquility.

Ohhh, Thank you for my angel,
and because you do things right,
you'll be one angel short---
for the rest of my life.

Oh, oh, ohh for the rest of my life.
You'll be one angel short, for the rest of my life.
