Neil Diamond - Angel Above My Head lyrics

If you're gonna be true to me

First, you've got to be true to yourself

Oh yeah

It don't matter 'bout nobody else

Oh, no

If it's there in your mind

It's a lesson I've just come to learn

Something

That I've only just begun to learn

Oh, yeah

For the very first time

For the very first time

Angel above my head

Calling my name in diff'rent places

Angel above my head

Saying it's alright

To show your face to the world

Everything seems new to me

Such a very recent turn of events

And the truth

Just doesn't make any sense

Oh, no

For the very first time

If we had another year or two

I would spend it being near to you

Oh, yeah

Like the very first time

Like the very first time

Angel above my head

Calling my name in diff'rent places

Angel above my head

Saying it's alright to show your face now

Angel above my head

Tapping me gently on my shoulder

That angel above my head

Saying it's time to be growing older

My friend

If you wanna be true to me

First you've got to be true to yourself

Oh, yeah

It don't matter 'bout nobody else

Oh, no

Keep me there in your mind

I'll be there by your side
