[Opening]
[C]It was a day just like [Em]any other day, [Am]I was a boy just [F]every other boy,
[C]When the girl unlike [Em]any I had seen, [Am]it’s like she stepped out of a dream,
[F]And into my world,

[section 2]
[F]It could have been the summer [G]wind playing with her hair,
[F]As the sun danced in her [G]eyes we were standing there,
[F]She smiled “I forgot my [G]name” cause all I was thinking

[section 3]
[C]Maybe I’m crazy but [G]I’m praying
That an angel will [Am]love me, an angel will [F]love me,
[C]Maybe I’m a fool but I’m [G]still falling,
Asking heaven [Am]above me, for an angel to [F]love me,
For the rest of my [C]life, [Em]the rest of my [Am]life [F]

[section 4]
[C]You’re the proof, that [Em]the father answers prayer
[Am]Cause somehow, someway, [F]you and I are standing here
[C]With a sacred promise, and [Em]a ring that says it all,
Oh [Am]I’ve just begun to fall, [F]and from the deepest part of me I say “I do”

[chorus]
[C]Maybe I’m crazy but [G]I’m praying
That an angel will [Am]love me, an angel will [F]love me,
[C]Maybe I’m a fool but I’m [G]still falling,
Asking heaven [Am]above me, for an angel to [F]love me,

[section 5]
[F]And after all the changing [G]seasons have turned to years,
[F]The crowds are gone and the songs have [G]faded, I’ll still be here
[F]Holding you and thanking [G]heaven, for my angel

[chorus]
[C]Maybe I’m crazy but I’m [G]praying
That an angel will [Am]love me, an angel will [F]love me,
Maybe I’m [C] [Em]crazy, for praying an [Am]angel will [F]love me
[C]Maybe I’m a fool but I’m [Em]still falling,
Asking heaven [Am]above me, for an angel to [F]love me,

[Closing]
For the rest of my [C]life, [Em]the rest of my [Dm]life [F]
The rest of my [C] [Em]life, the rest of my [Am]life [F]
