Theres an angel in my heart.

theres an angel in my heart.
She is beautiful and so delicate.
I can hear her weeping sometimes. 
She wants to come out of me
Let everyone see her

But I keep her imprisoned,
She is my private angel.
People can see only
the worldly tough me .
the one who doesn't
Take wooden nickels.
The one who never cries.
With a Missouri show me attitude

But sometimes
When the night is long
And quiet and you are Lay with me
beautiful And full of softness.
I let her out
Just for you to see her.
She changes the glow Of light
that outlines your body.
Frames your hair like a halo.
She softens my voice
Almost to a whisper,

I say stupid things
That Tough old me Would never say.
Like you are the most beautiful thing in my life
And I love you honey.
She makes me gentle and loving.
It must be some kind of trick.
But then as the morning
Dawns sunlight into 0ur bedroom window.
I put my angel in prison again
And get ready to face The garish world
for just one more day.
