American Angel Lyrics by George Michael

Patience

2004

[Verse 1]
Bless the day you came into my life, I still remember
Horny cowboy with your stars and stripes
Bringing the light into my day
With that Texan smile
[Pre-Chorus]
Too afraid to love, to hope that you would stay
So broken that I never saw you chase the past away
[Chorus]
My American Angel (My American Angel)
He doesn't want to fight (Doesn't need to fight)
My U.S of Angel (Angel)
Holds me in the dead of night
Takes away that fear that I carried forever
You stopped to wipe away my tears
And you stayed forever and more
(I don't think that I)
(I don't think that I)
(I don't think that I)
(I don't think that I)
[Verse 2]
Yesterday, it seemed my life was colder than December
All alone I watched the eagles fly
Even the light seemed to have changed
In the Californian sky
[Pre-Chorus]
Through all of those battles then you came
Stepped out of the fading light
Said, "Baby, I'm American, dry your eyes again
Because I'm here to save your life"
[Chorus]
My American Angel (My American Angel)
Doesn't want to fight (Doesn't need to fight)
My U.S of Angel (Angel)
Holds me in the dead of night
Takes away that fear that I carried forever
You stopped to wipe away my tears
But you stayed forever amore
And more, didn't you baby?
[Bridge]
Because I don't think that I could love and lose again
I don't think I have the strength
I don't think I have the strength
[Outro]
(I don't think that I)
(I don't think that I)
(I don't think that I)
(I don't think that I)
(I don't think that I)
(I don't think that I)
