I ran into an old man in the back of bar
At closing time on Saturday night
I was waiting on a cab with nothing to do
And I asked him if he had a light
His calloused hands trembled as he reached in his shirt
And passed his light to me
He stroked his grey beard
And I bought him a beer
We shared some company
He had worked in the coal mines; he had worked on some trains
He made his living with his back and his hands
He traveled the country but he hated the cold
So he went south and put his toes in the sand
There he met Irene
And she fulfilled all of his dreams
And the years just faded away
But now he was all alone
Because Irene had passed on
He said boy learn one lesson from me
Find your angel, don't let her go
Find your angel, she's out there you know
Find your Angel, help her spread her wings
And make her your everything
Find your angel, don't let her go
Find your angel, She's out there you know
Find your Angel, Help her spread her wings
And make her your everything
When I came back from the john, the old man was gone
So I took my cab on back home
We'd had a fight cuz I knew I was right
So I 'd went out for some drinks all alone
I saw tears on your pillow, As I crawled into bed
And you pretended to sleep
I said I was sorry, I was so blind
I used that old man's light to see
I found my angel, and I won't let her go
Found my angel, she was right here you know
Found my angel, I'll help her spread her wings
And make her my everything
You're my angel, and I won't let you go
You're my angel, and I love you so
You're my angel; I'll help you spread your wings
And make you my everything
